-There is currently no scripting language
-extension within Jalview, in part because a
-scripting API has not yet been developed.

-<p>It is, however, really easy to embed scripting
-engines like groovy. If groovy is detected on the
-classpath, a new menu entry on the Desktop's Tools
-menu will open the GroovyShell.
+ <a href="http://www.groovy-lang.org">Groovy</a> has been bundled with the Jalview desktop since circa 2012. The program supports interactive execution of groovy scripts via the Groovy Console, and command line execution via the '-groovy' option. The main source for documentation about Groovy in Jalview is the <a href="http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/groovy.html">online help pages</a>.
