Is this ok or not - please give feedback.
AFAIK, Mozilla license is compatible with Apache license and I am ok to have javascript as the default scripting language shipped with bsf. Since bsf is essentially a framework for scripting, it would be nice to have a default scripting language that it will always support. Anyway we need to get the consensus of others to make this happen and I would suggest that you continue refactoring the build.xml making javascript available in ants classpath since this proposal would most likely be accepted.
