Another use case for all developers is build scripts. Currently this can
be done with JDK, in JavaScript language using jjs, or in Java language
using Janino source class loader
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JANINO/Advanced ).
Having API for build tools replace usefully some domain specific
languages like Ant/Maven/Gradle (like JavaFX is better using Java
language and not a custom DSL). It can also be useful to avoid temporary
small files when building project (replaced by in-memory data/objects)
and reduce number of sub-processes launched.
