Paul King commented on GROOVY-9365:
-----------------------------------
Daniel can chime in if he has further thoughts but my understanding from the
proposed code is that `JavaShell` is a Java equivalent to `GroovyShell`. It
isn't a mirror of `groovysh` which has a Java equivalent (`jshell`). I
anticipate it would be a very useful feature when dealing with code snippets,
so often used for testing but not exclusively. I believe it is marked as an
incubating feature for 4.0. If it ends up not being general purpose enough, we
can restrict it to just testing scenarios or delete it.
