Hi there,
on last week's ApacheCon US there was certainly quite some interest in
BSF, especially the upcoming BSF 3.0 which could serve the Harmony
project as well (one important area here are the BSF 3.0 scripting
engines, especially a/the Javascript/Rhino engine, which also is part of
the Sun Java distribution).

Also, after learning that possibly the JSR-223 TCK may be available from
Sun, I have requested it (sent via cc: to this list as well). Geir
answered it in the jcp-open list, here's his e-mail:

Acknowledged.
My only concern is that there isn't an independent TCK for it if it's
part of Java 6. I'll find out.

Once I hear more, I will report it here.

Ad deployment of BSF: it is quite surprising in how many different
Apache projects BSF is employed, in order to make them
extensible/scriptable. One such example is Cocoon (cf.
<http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/script-generator.html>).
