Response to: Why not Java instead of Jython instead of XML?
Because Java is not a scripting language. True you could do it in Java, but then you have to worry about static typing and generally a much more complex syntax. The idea is to use Jython when Java is too heavyweight. Then you end up putting in an upfront commitment to incorporate Jython, but reap the benefits when your task can be accomplished quickly with a scripting language.
