Commons Java Expression Language (JEXL) 1.1 Rolled Out

Java Expression Language (JEXL) is an expression language engine which can be embedded in applications and frameworks. JEXL is inspired by Jakarta Velocity and the Expression Language defined in the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library version 1.1 (JSTL) and JavaServer Pages version 2.0 (JSP). While inspired by JSTL EL, it must be noted that JEXL is not a compatible implementation of EL as defined in JSTL 1.1 (JSR-052) or JSP 2.0 (JSR-152). For a compatible implementation of these specifications, see the Commons EL project.

Commons Java Expression Language (JEXL) version 1.1 is now available. Commons JEXL is currently used by projects such as Jelly and Commons (Sandbox) SCXML.
