It's not *our* scripting engine, it's Java's. There is quite a bit of documentation our there for the two Javascript engines, I refer to the Rhino and Nashorn docs quite a lot.

Our API is documented with published javadocs, and we have links as much as possible from the wiki documentation back into the relevant docs that cover the Java classes. Given a Java object in hand it's not anything special to use the object's methods from Javascript. It's accessing class objects and static methods that can be a bit ugly.

It adds a value to the existing collection of values. Has no effect on existing values.

The latter.
