### createScript

    public Script createScript(String scriptName, Binding binding)

  Creates a Script with a given scriptName and binding.
  throws:
    ResourceException if there is a problem accessing the script
  throws:
    ScriptException if there is a problem parsing the script
  Parameters:
    `scriptName` - name of the script to run
    `binding` - the binding to pass to the script
  Returns:
    the script object

### getConfig

    public CompilerConfiguration getConfig()

  Returns:
    a non null compiler configuration

### getGroovyClassLoader

    public GroovyClassLoader getGroovyClassLoader()

  Returns the GroovyClassLoader associated with this script engine instance. Useful if you need to pass the class loader to another library.
  Returns:
    the GroovyClassLoader

### getParentClassLoader

    public ClassLoader getParentClassLoader()

  Get the `ClassLoader` that will serve as the parent ClassLoader of the GroovyClassLoader in which scripts will be executed. By default, this is the ClassLoader that loaded the `GroovyScriptEngine` class.
  Returns:
    the parent classloader used to load scripts

### getResourceConnection

    public URLConnection getResourceConnection(String resourceName)

  Get a resource connection as a `URLConnection` to retrieve a script from the `ResourceConnector`.
  throws:
    ResourceException
  Parameters:
    `resourceName` - name of the resource to be retrieved
  Returns:
    a URLConnection to the resource

### isSourceNewer

    protected boolean isSourceNewer(GroovyScriptEngine.ScriptCacheEntry entry)

### loadScriptByName

    public Class loadScriptByName(String scriptName)

  Get the class of the scriptName in question, so that you can instantiate Groovy objects with caching and reloading.
  throws:
    ResourceException if there is a problem accessing the script
  throws:
    ScriptException if there is a problem parsing the script
  Parameters:
    `scriptName` - resource name pointing to the script
  Returns:
    the loaded scriptName as a compiled class

### loadScriptByName

    public Class loadScriptByName(String scriptName, ClassLoader parentClassLoader)

  Get the class of the scriptName in question, so that you can instantiate Groovy objects with caching and reloading.
  throws:
    ResourceException if there is a problem accessing the script
  throws:
    ScriptException if there is a problem parsing the script
  deprecated:
  Parameters:
    `scriptName` - resource name pointing to the script
    `parentClassLoader` - the class loader to use when loading the script
  Returns:
    the loaded scriptName as a compiled class

### main

    public static void main(String[] urls)

  Simple testing harness for the GSE. Enter script roots as arguments and then input script names to run them.
  throws:
    Exception if something goes wrong
  Parameters:
    `urls` - an array of URLs

### run

    public String run(String scriptName, String argument)

  Run a script identified by name with a single argument.
  throws:
    ResourceException if there is a problem accessing the script
  throws:
    ScriptException if there is a problem parsing the script
  Parameters:
    `scriptName` - name of the script to run
    `argument` - a single argument passed as a variable named `arg` in the binding
  Returns:
    a `toString()` representation of the result of the execution of the script

### run

    public Object run(String scriptName, Binding binding)

  Run a script identified by name with a given binding.
  throws:
    ResourceException if there is a problem accessing the script
  throws:
    ScriptException if there is a problem parsing the script
  Parameters:
    `scriptName` - name of the script to run
    `binding` - the binding to pass to the script
  Returns:
    an object

### setConfig

    public void setConfig(CompilerConfiguration config)
