Background:
The Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) is an architecture for incorporating
scripting into Java applications and applets. Scripting languages such
as Netscape Rhino (Javascript), VBScript, Perl, Tcl, Python, NetRexx and
Rexx are commonly used to augment an application's function or to script
together a set of application components to form an application. It is
open source, and can be found at
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/bsf.
It is an optional addition to several projects, including Ant, Xalan, and
Taglibs. If it were contributed to Apache, it's license would change to
the ASL.
At the time I originally proposed it as an open source project, a number of
people suggested that I pursue Apache. Not willing to pursue a battle on
multiple fronts (within IBM and Apache PMCs), I elected at the time to take
a more cautious route. Now that I am part of the establishment on both
sides <grin>, I am willing to reconsider this, but *only* if there is
interest or pull from the Apache side.
