What do you use as a scripting language for java based apps/games?

Why? Becuase I'm trying to find a good scripting language for java.

Groovy is a no-brainer here, IMO, google it out.

Anyone had experience with JRuby, Jython, Luaj (Or another Lua implentation), Groovy or any other one?

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-06-2006/jw-0612-dynamic.html?page=3 I saw scripts made in java itself being compiled and reloaded at runtime before. It might be something to look into if you just want scripts for the sake of prototyping.

It's not really related to this topic.

Sorry I confused "scripting options" with separate "scripting languages".

I've only used Groovy, which is why I mentioned it. It has simple and robust embedding support, and is a snap to pick up considering you already know Java.
