The project is in use in multiple places but it hasn't been updated for a
long time.
I'm pushing to restart the 2.0 effort & we will see soon if this gets some
traction.

Could be an RFE; I suspect that creating a block will do what you expect:
"{a=task.id;b=task.Name; task.Name;}"

No. Could be an RFE since it makes sense to break/exit loops with a given
value. However, the idea of JEXL is a simple expression evaluator, not a
full fledge language. Using Javascript (aka Rhino) might be another option.

In API terms, you can create a script in Java from:
- a String variable using it as the script source.
- an URL (like "http://...";) fetching the content and using it as a script
source.
- a File (like "/tmp/myscript.jexl") from your file-system using its content
as the script source.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
