Dear all, JEXL 3.0 is ready for review.
The 2.1 attempt comments have been folded in; JEXL 3 being binary and source code incompatible with JEXL 2, the code has moved to the new o.a.c.jexl3 package. I've also moved some classes to the internal packages to make the public API clearer for the future. Here is a quick list of new features (from the release notes): What's new in 3.0: ================== * A more thorough arithmetic (JexlArithmetic) that allows fine control over decimals (scale and precision), a new syntax for numeric literals (OGNL inspired Big and Huge notations) and a better type handling keeping the most appropriate representation in casual operations. * The introduction of script variables and parameters that reduce context dependencies and methods; this allows to perform checks after script creation (light static checking hints). Plus the ability to call script from scripts. * A sandoxing feature to restrict and rename what JEXL can access from the environment allowing tighter control over security. * Extensions to UnifiedJEXL that allow the creation of templates. New features in 3.0: ==================== * JEXL-114: Allow scripts to create local variables // Add return keyword * JEXL-113: Add functions to extract which variables, parameters and local variables are used to evaluate a script * JEXL-118: Provide an IN operator * JEXL-115: Add support for asynchronous script execution and cancellation * JEXL-116: Add control over classes, methods, constructors and properties allowed in scripts * JEXL-120: Add simple template features * JEXL-119: Allow indexed properties container resolution in expressions Tested against Java 1.{5,6} / Maven{2,3}, Windows 7/Linux/Mac OS.
