Hello-
As the new release gets under way, here's an additon to the projects.xml
file. I've added a blurb about the Prolog BSF engine I have written, and
would be pleased to see that go live. Thanks for your consideration.
Cheers,
Ulf

<subsection name="BeanShell">
<p>
"BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable, Java source interpreter
with object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell
executes standard Java statements and expressions, in addition to
obvious scripting commands and syntax. BeanShell supports scripted
objects as simple method closures like those in Perl and
JavaScript(tm)."

<p>
"JPython is a new implementation of the Python programming language
which is designed to run on SUN's Java(tm) Platform. It consists of
a compiler to compile Python source code down to Java bytecodes which
can run directly on a JVM, a set of support libraries which are used
by the compiled Java bytecodes, and extra support to make it trivial
to use Java packages from within JPython."

<subsection name="Prolog">
<p>
"Prolog is a logic-oriented language based on predicate calculus. While it is not
really a scripting language, there is a range of problems that are much easier to
express in it than in Java, and for these cases a Prolog BSF engine comes in handy.
It is also useful for adding a GUI to Prolog programs.
The underlying Prolog interpreter is JLog, which can be run as an applet, an application
or embedded through an API, and can be found at http://sf.net/projects/jlogic/.
