Method Detail

@Override public String getEngineName()

@Override public 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).

@Override public List<String> getExtensions()

@Override public 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.
