Conclusion:
Rhino runs significantly faster than BeanShell and likewise supports
Java-like syntax in its scripting. Moreover, it appears well written and
well supported, and you'll find numerous JavaScript syntax books at the
bookstore. I had no problems and recommend it if you have equally
balanced needs for performance, Java-like syntax, and strong support for
the libraries.    (02)

quite nicely. Other Java-compatible alternatives were
   Beanshell
   Jython
