    - #### eval

          public static java.lang.Object eval(javax.script.ScriptEngine self,
                              java.lang.String script,
                              Binding binding)
                                       throws javax.script.ScriptException

      Executes the specified script. The default `ScriptContext` for the `ScriptEngine` is used. Variables from a Groovy `Binding` are made available in the default scope of the `Bindings` of the `ScriptEngine`. Resulting variables in the `Bindings` are returned back to the Groovy `Binding`.
      Parameters:
        `self` - A ScriptEngine
        `script` - The script language source to be executed
        `binding` - A Groovy binding
      Returns:
        The value returned from the execution of the script (if supported by the Script engine)
      Throws:
        `javax.script.ScriptException` - if error occurs in script
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
      Since:
        1.7.3

                              Binding binding)
                                       throws javax.script.ScriptException

      Parameters:
        `self` - A ScriptEngine
        `reader` - The source of the script
        `binding` - A Groovy binding

        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
