    public class GroovyScriptEngineFactory
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

A factory class conforming to JSR-223 which is used to instantiate Groovy `ScriptEngines` and also exposes metadata describing Groovy's engine class.

### Constructor Summary

Constructor and Description
`GroovyScriptEngineFactory()`

### Method Summary

Methods
`java.lang.String` `getEngineName()`
`java.lang.String` `getEngineVersion()` Note that the scripting.dev.java.net engine had this backwards.
`java.util.List<java.lang.String>` `getExtensions()`
`java.lang.String` `getLanguageName()` This is also different than scripting.dev.java.net which used an initial lowercase.
`java.lang.String` `getLanguageVersion()`
`java.lang.String` `getMethodCallSyntax(java.lang.String obj, java.lang.String method, java.lang.String... args)`
`java.util.List<java.lang.String>` `getMimeTypes()`
`java.util.List<java.lang.String>` `getNames()`
`java.lang.String` `getOutputStatement(java.lang.String toDisplay)`
`java.lang.Object` `getParameter(java.lang.String key)`

### Constructor Detail

#### GroovyScriptEngineFactory

    public GroovyScriptEngineFactory()

### Method Detail

#### getEngineName

    public java.lang.String getEngineName()

Specified by:
  `getEngineName` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getEngineVersion

    public java.lang.String getEngineVersion()

Note that the scripting.dev.java.net engine had this backwards. The engine version refers to this engine implementation. Whereas language version refers to the groovy implementation (which is obtained from the runtime).

Specified by:
  `getEngineVersion` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getLanguageName

    public java.lang.String getLanguageName()

This is also different than scripting.dev.java.net which used an initial lowercase. But these are proper names and should be capitalized.

Specified by:
  `getLanguageName` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getLanguageVersion

    public java.lang.String getLanguageVersion()

Specified by:
  `getLanguageVersion` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getExtensions

    public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getExtensions()

Specified by:
  `getExtensions` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getMimeTypes

    public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMimeTypes()

Specified by:
  `getMimeTypes` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getNames

    public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getNames()

Specified by:
  `getNames` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getParameter

    public java.lang.Object getParameter(java.lang.String key)

Specified by:
  `getParameter` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getScriptEngine

    public javax.script.ScriptEngine getScriptEngine()

Specified by:
  `getScriptEngine` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getMethodCallSyntax

    public java.lang.String getMethodCallSyntax(java.lang.String obj,
                                       java.lang.String method,
                                       java.lang.String... args)

Specified by:
  `getMethodCallSyntax` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getOutputStatement

    public java.lang.String getOutputStatement(java.lang.String toDisplay)

Specified by:
  `getOutputStatement` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

#### getProgram

    public java.lang.String getProgram(java.lang.String... statements)

Specified by:
  `getProgram` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`
