I completely agree with you.

This here seems to be a more special case as the registration of
JSR-223 script languages is done through some classloader magic:
when loading the jar it looks for META-INF/servcies/javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory
and tries to instantiate the class, that is found inside.


Anyway: my question here was a little bit about wanting to be lazy :-)
But also about "do we want to enable another language on the server, that
people can use in server side plugins like the alert ones or in perspectives?"
