# xbsh(1)

BeanShell: A Java scripting environment (windowed version).

## NAME

xbsh - BeanShell: A Java scripting environment (windowed version).

## SYNOPSIS

**xbsh** \[**-classpath** *path*\] \[*file*\]\

## DESCRIPTION

BeanShell is a small, embeddable, Java source interpreter with object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell executes standard Java statements and expressions, in addition to obvious scripting commands and syntax. You can also script objects as simple method closures like those in Perl and JavaScript(tm).

**xbsh** starts the windowed version of BeanShell.

## OPTIONS

The program **xbsh** optionally takes a **-classpath** option which sets the value of the **CLASSPATH** environment variable to the specified path before starting the BeanShell.  This option is mainly provided for compatibility with JDE (Java Development Environment for Emacs).

In addition, a file to be executed may be given as argument to **xbsh**.

## SEE ALSO

**bsh** - the command-line version of BeanShell.

More documentation on BeanShell can be found in */usr/share/doc/bsh-doc/* if the bsh-doc package is installed.
