  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getEngineName

          public java.lang.String getEngineName()

      Specified by:
        `getEngineName` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getEngineVersion

          public java.lang.String getEngineVersion()

      Note that the scripting.dev.java.net engine had this backwards. The engine version refers to this engine implementation. Whereas language version refers to the groovy implementation (which is obtained from the runtime).
      Specified by:
        `getEngineVersion` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getLanguageName

          public java.lang.String getLanguageName()

      This is also different than scripting.dev.java.net which used an initial lowercase. But these are proper names and should be capitalized.
      Specified by:
        `getLanguageName` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getLanguageVersion

          public java.lang.String getLanguageVersion()

      Specified by:
        `getLanguageVersion` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getExtensions

          public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getExtensions()

      Specified by:
        `getExtensions` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getMimeTypes

          public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMimeTypes()

      Specified by:
        `getMimeTypes` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getNames

          public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getNames()

      Specified by:
        `getNames` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getParameter

          public java.lang.Object getParameter​(java.lang.String key)

      Specified by:
        `getParameter` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getScriptEngine

          public javax.script.ScriptEngine getScriptEngine()

      Specified by:
        `getScriptEngine` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getMethodCallSyntax

          public java.lang.String getMethodCallSyntax​(java.lang.String obj,
                                                      java.lang.String method,
                                                      java.lang.String... args)

      Specified by:
        `getMethodCallSyntax` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getOutputStatement

          public java.lang.String getOutputStatement​(java.lang.String toDisplay)

      Specified by:
        `getOutputStatement` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`

    - #### getProgram

          public java.lang.String getProgram​(java.lang.String... statements)

      Specified by:
        `getProgram` in interface `javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory`
