## Class ScriptRunnerBase

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.util.ScriptRunnerBase

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    JavaxScriptRunner, ScriptRunner

      public abstract class ScriptRunnerBase
      extends java.lang.Object

  This is a common abstract base case for script runners. These classes need to implement executeScript, evaluateScript and supportsLanguage.
  Since:
    Ant 1.7.0
