We already have scripting with the Script optional task and the BSF (beauty
tool BTW) thanks to Sam Ruby. �With the Script task and the BSF, we have
access to all the scripting languages BSF supports, including Mozilla Rhino
v1.4 Release 3, NetRexx v1.148 upwards,. BML v2.4, JPython v1.1-beta3, Jacl
v1.1.1, LotusXSL v0.18.*, Microsoft ActiveScript languages VBScript,
JScript and ActiveState's PerlScript.
Unfortunately the Script task isn't really well documented yet. �I haven't
played around enough with it yet (and I'm not likely to have the time to)
to be comfortable coming up with good examples. �Sam, would you have time
to create a simple example and update the docs? �And include little
gotcha's like not being able to have periods in property names... :-)

I don't think XSLT would be useful : for exemple I want to apply a block
of tasks to each ".xml" file of my directory "xml". For this, I cannot
really use XSLT - and don't really figure out how it could be used.
Anyway, embedding a scripting language would be a really brilliant idea
: I'm convinced that modern app/tools should let the user avoid
technical problems by allowing scripting. For this, I propose the PNuts
scripting language, which is very similar to Java/JavaScript, but with
some very interesting features (packages, gui stuff).
It is a good topic to discuss...So what's your opinion ?
Seb.
