The jjs Command-Line Tool - Scripting in Java: Integrating with Groovy and JavaScript - page 293

Using the jjs tool, you can run the script in the stream.js file as follows. It is
assumed that the stream.js file is in the current directory. Otherwise, you need to specify
the full path of the file:
c:\>jjs stream.js
List of numbers: 1,2,3,4,5
Sum of the squares of odd numbers: 35
c:\>jjs stream.js -- 10 11 12 13 14 15
List of numbers: 10,11,12,13,14,15
Sum of the squares of odd numbers: 515

Using jjs in Scripting Mode
The jjs tool can be invoked in scripting mode, which allows you to run shell commands.
You can start the jjs tool in scripting mode using the -scripting option. The shell
commands are enclosed in back quotes, not single/double quotes. The following are
examples of using the date and ls shell commands using the jjs tool in scripting mode:
c:\>jjs -scripting
jjs> `date`
Wed Oct 15 15:27:07 CDT 2014
jjs> `ls -l`
