Develop a scripting framework using Java 6's scripting engines that can be
used in games. 

Primarily the focus will be on developing a script framework for the java
monkey engine.

Having a weird issue where the script was failing on the fromAngleNormalAxis 
call in
the javascript. The code would run fine in debug mode but not in regular mode.

Then it was working fine in both modes, but it ran 4 times faster in debug 
mode??

Does the script engine run a thread somewhere? Also does it optimize code for 
debug
mode??

Also groovy script doesn't work because it cannot resolve the global variables 
in the 

spinController.groovy

import com.jme.math.Vector3f;
import com.jme.math.Quaternion;

def incr = 1.0f;
def rotVec = new Vector3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
def rotQuat = new Quaternion();
def angle = 0.0f;

def update(time, mesh) {
    //update the angle
    angle = angle + incr;
    if (angle > 360) {
        angle = 0;
    }
    rotQuat.fromAngleNormalAxis(angle * FastMath.DEG_TO_RAD, rotVec);
    mesh.setLocalRotation(rotQuat);
