The greatest irony is that Tcl and JACL were originally developed by Sun and 
then put out to grass.  The fact is dynamic language capability has been part 
of the JVM since 1997.  Just look at the JACL source.  It has Sun copywrite 
plastered all over the shop.    Just add the two JACL jar files to the 
lib/ext directory of the Java SDK/JRE to enable dynamic class loading and hey 
presto you have a built in scripting environment for JAVA.  I am amazed that 
Java did not ship with built in JACL as standard.
