run

public abstract java.lang.Object run()

The main instance method of a script which has variables in scope as defined by the current Binding instance.

println

public void println()

Prints a newline to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a println() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.

print

public void print(java.lang.Object value)

Prints the value to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a print() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.

println

public void println(java.lang.Object value)

Prints the value and a newline to the current 'out' variable which should be a PrintWriter or at least have a println() method defined on it. If there is no 'out' property then print to standard out.
