So for now then, the main thing would just be to include whatever NOTICE markings are required by the Sun Public License and use the 2.0b4 JAR as-is.
I'll re-add beanshell-activity to https://github.com/taverna-incubator/taverna-engine-common-activities Alan - your experimental javax.script code - where does it live? It's for Taverna 2.5? We still end up with rshell-activity on the taverna-extras, which is important for many users, but not as widespread used across workflows as beanshell (mainly as the local workers are done in Beanshell). Installing Taverna 3 plugins for the server should be easier than in 2.5 - as 3.x plugins are single files that can be dropped in on the file system.
