============================ test units for: compile PI+fallback

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/java/mymod/myapp2/FXMLScriptDeployment2Compile_Off.java
... use compile PI to set off compilation of scripts; each script code starts with "demo_02_"

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/resources/mymod/myapp2/demo_02_off.fxml
... set compilation for scripts off ("<?compile false?>"), therefore no script gets compiled

---

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/java/mymod/myapp2/FXMLScriptDeployment2Compile_Off_On.java
... alternatively uses compile PI to turn compilation off and on; the script code starts alternatively with "demo_02_"
and "RgfPseudoCompiledScript.eval(", depending on the state set with the PI

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/resources/mymod/myapp2/demo_02_off_on.fxml
... starts out explicitly with "<?compile false?>" switching the state after each element containing a script

---

 tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/java/mymod/myapp2/FXMLScriptDeployment2Compile_On.java
 ... no compile PI given, hence compilation of scripts is on; each script code starts with
 "RgfPseudoCompiledScript.eval("
 
 tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/resources/mymod/myapp2/demo_02_on.fxml
... no compile PI given, starts out to compile scripts by default

---

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/java/mymod/myapp2/FXMLScriptDeployment2Compile_On_Off.java
... alternatively uses compile PI to turn compilation on and off; the script code starts alternatively with
"RgfPseudoCompiledScript.eval(", and "demo_02_" depending on the state set with the PI

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/resources/mymod/myapp2/demo_02_on_off.fxml
... starts out explicitly with "<?compile true?>" switching the state after each element containing a script (sometimes
using PI "<?compile?>" to test setting it to true)

---

tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/java/mymod/myapp2/FXMLScriptDeployment2Compile_Fail_Compilation.java
... although compile scripts is on, none of the scripts get compiled as they all contain the string "FAIL COMPILATION"
which causes RgfPseudoScriptEngineCompilable.compile(...) to throw a ScriptException causing the fallback to be used;
all scripts therefore start with "demo_03_"

 tests/system/src/testscriptapp2/resources/mymod/myapp2/demo_03_fail_compile.fxml
 ... explicitly turns on compilation (which is on by default anyway), adds "FAIL COMPILATION" to all inline scripts and
 to all external scripts with the filename that starts with "demo_03_"
