Not sure - the core part of BSF 3.0 does not need any external
libraries (apart from JUnit).

In which case one might be able to use the bsf-api jar from BSF 3.0 in
order to get JSR-223 functionality with Java 1.4 and Java 1.5.

Depends on how Ant does the check - if it looks for Java 1.6 then it
won't work, but if it looks for the javax.script classes it should be
happy with the BSF 3.0 implementation.

I can't see any point in fixing BSF 2.4 to build with the current
version of Jython.

So presumably there needs to be a pre-built version of BSF 2.4?
