title: Java String and Mathematical Expression Evaluators
body: <p>We use the Jeks parser at present to evaluate expressions.  I cannot see a way to evaluate string expressions with it - for example:</p>
  
  <p><strong>IF( "Test 1" = "Test 2")</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is there anything out there that can evaluate string and mathematical expressions in Java?  Preferably free or open source.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help,</p>
