title: Visual Basic or VBScript as Java Scripting Engine
body: <p>I consider implementing a ScriptingEngine à la JSR223 for Visual Basic or VBScript (because I don't know any implementation, except the abandoned BSF engine from IBM). I know it will take me some native programming, but I don't know where to start.</p>
  
  <p>One idea would be to integrate windows scripting host into java, maybe by using it like an active control, but I can't find any. Is there a public API for Windows Scripting host? Any other ideas?</p>
