Hi Sanka,
is there anyone who feels responsible for bringing the BSF WWW-site
up to date?
At the moment the information in "docs/" is very outdated, but it
seems that that branch is used for the material displayed on
<http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf>. There is a branch "xdocs/" which
seems to not be reflected at all (eg. "xdocs/projects.xml").
I'll see whether I can fix it ..
*Great*, thank you very much !
Then, there would be clearly a need for a daily/current "bsf.jar"
such that interested party can get the latest drop.
Then, there is a need to change the Apache license text to 2.0 in
all source files.
Then, there would be a need for a procedure to finally bring the
current drop of BSF to GA level and start to test and work with BSF
3.0, which should be interface compatible with the upcoming Java
scripting interface (much of the initial work has been thankfully
done already by Sanka and Nandika, if I am not mistaken).
So is there a procedure in place already which we just need to
re-activate?
Also another question to add to these open ones: I have been
contemplating to submit the Java part of the BSF Rexx engine, but not
the platform dependent C++ JNI code, such that other BSF engine
implementors could take advantage of the set of string-only interfaces
to interact fully with BSF and Java. Possibly this would help them to
"jump-start" to a full implementation (e.g. array handling is eased
quite considerably for non-Java based language implementations). Now,
would that be helpful, make sense at all?
(It should be always possible to get at the source and compiled code by
getting the BSF4Rexx package.)
Regards,
