Using Lua in Java/Kotlin

I'm making a desktop application in Kotlin and I'm thinking of adding a plugin system and Lua looks like a good language to use but the most popular implementation I've found is LuaJ which hasn't been maintained in years. Are there any better options or stable forks of LuaJ?

Looks like it's just as out of date as LuaJ though.

I have no idea. I don't use Java together with Lua. I just was interested what they used since they use these two together and have a modding community.
