have you tried stack-overflow?

Stack overflow can't do that. It can only serve as a repository for and
source of knowledge. ... Oh, I get it!

RRS

That's not necessarily easy to do. While I do know this question has been asked before, I, for one, couldn't find it right now.

I travel to the future all the time.

Here are two examples:

http://people.apache.org/~mduerig/scala4scripting/

You might probably want to watch his talk from the Scala Days as well.

Here's some code I wrote some time ago (in Java!) which uses Scala for
scripting (I'm not sure which version but definitely pre-2.8):

http://github.com/jrudolph/scolorz/blob/master/src/net/virtualvoid/graph...

Actually it is quite easy to use the Scala interpreter (beware Java
code following):

import scala.tools.nsc.Interpreter;
import scala.tools.nsc.Settings;

final Interpreter interpreter = new Interpreter(new Settings());
final Painter[] painter = new Painter[1];

interpreter.bind("painter", "Array[net.virtualvoid.graphics.Painter]", painter);

String code = "object aPainter extends net.virtualvoid.graphics.Painter{\n"
+ "def paint:Unit = {\n"
+ text.getText() + "\n}\n"
+ "}\n";
interpreter.interpret(code);
interpreter.interpret("painter(0) = aPainter;");

So I defined a Painter interface and bound an array of that variable
to receive the results. Code which I executed got wrapped by code
which implements the interface. After evaluating this, the result is
stored into the array and can be accessed afterwards.
