Description : A script aware replacement to stock java launcher
Hashdot elevates Java-platform script interpreters to first class
status on Unix-like operating systems. It provides a script aware
replacement to the stock 'java' launcher, and thus avoids numerous
issues in using the 'java' launcher to bootstrap a script
interpreter. All relevant interpreter and JVM options (i.e: Java
heap size) may be specified directly in a script header and/or via
system profiles, without resorting to environment variables,
command line arguments, and the additional wrapper shell scripts
needed to maintain them.
.
Hashdot can support any Java-platform language. Sample profiles
are provided for Jython, JRuby, Scala, Groovy, Rhino Javascript
and Clojure.
