We use Jython a lot in our application. It's an excellent scripting tool for
Java.

Certainly. We have not run into a single Jython related issue in our
project.

Yes, yes and yes. We do this all the time. The only difference is that our
scripts are written before hand; but there is nothing preventing you 
from generating the scripts on the fly.

There is also a jython-users mailing list. The authors provide excellent
support on the list as well as on this newsgroup. Go for it.
