@Rand: no it does not..
And I believe scriptographer is written in Rhino but uses Java to communicate with Illustrator, also the scripts are mostly written in javascript, but you can use Java within the scripts as well..

You can use Java in the scripts?!
How? To what end?
I'm using Processing still to do this sort of thing.

I've been playing with scriptographer for a bit, it's really fun to use but I want to start writing my own scripts which will obviously take some java education. I've looked at some of the scripts and a few are quite basic:
at lot of these were done using scriptographer:

but he won't release it yet. Plus once it's released everyone will be able to create that effect and it won't be special. hence wanting to write my own.

I see where v5 and others are coming from, however having zero interest in coding of any sort doesn't make one lazy. Perhaps at some point in my career that will interest me, but I don't think it makes me less of a designer because I lack the interest and left-brain acuity to write code. Believe me, I expend plenty of creative energy on more right-brain endeavors (not that one is superior to the other, it's just how I'm wired).
I agree with Crouwel that it's silly to say designers should create their own tools. If they want to go that route, that's fine. I have plenty of respect for people like Josh Davis who can code as well as they can design. But taking it a step further and saying that designers should write their own Java is like saying mechanics should forge their own wrenches or that photographers should make their own cameras.

------------------------------Yes, you can import all Java lib's to my knowledge.. I'm not really a Java programmer, so far I've only used it to open textfiles and paste the content to the illustrator document because it was too long to hardcode

I have no desire to code. I prefer to have little people do that for me

Which ones were they Crouwel
- Crouwel0
in the first one i also used an other script called "vary_hues.js" or something..
i don't remember which ones, you have to check the plugin..
the second one has a raster related script. rasterlines or something..
there is a thread (hopefully still, i will bump it if i can) with more scripts..
- Crouwel0
see illy plugins
- neverblink0
not selfmade scripts are like the 'bevel and emboss' of scriptographer..
