Goal

to compile .coffee into .js and consume in Eclipse

1. with coffee global executable npm install -g coffee-script
coffee -c coffee.coffee

2. node bin\coffee

3. with node (peep into bin/coffee -> require(lib + '/coffee-script/command').run();) node lib\coffee-script\command.js -c coffee.coffee fails, no out put

4. Java java -classpath path/to/rhino/js.jar:path/to/closure/compiler.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main r.js main.js

java -classpath rhino-1.7R4.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main r.js main.js

5 things you didn't know about ... the Java Scripting API

Note: Could not run jrunscript on JDK 6, but ok in JDK 7.

Require.js

Yes Node does. That loader uses the CommonJS module format. The CommonJS module format is non-optimal for the browser, and I do not agree with some of the trade-offs made in the CommonJS module format. By using RequireJS on the server, you can use one format for all your modules, whether they are running server side or in the browser. That way you can preserve the speed benefits and easy debugging you get with RequireJS in the browser, and not have to worry about extra translation costs for moving between two formats.

1. You have to make sure to use [r.js][1] (not require.js) , modified version of require.js for rhino.
2. You have to extend ScritableObject class to implement load and print function. When you call require(["a"]), the load function in this class will be called, you can tweak this function to load the js file from any location. In the below example, I load from classpath.
3. You have to define the property arguments in the sharedscope as shown below in the sample code
4. Optionally, you can configure the sub path using require.config, to specify the subdirectory inside classpath where js files are located.

For information on its use, as well as how to get the JAR files to run it under Rhino, see the r.js README https://github.com/jrburke/r.js
