How about we make a branch called "newbsf"? We can put all the
changes for the new bsf jars there, and if Adam ever shows up with a
new jpublish then we can merge it back in?

It would have been nice if this had come up as an approach during
earlier and ongoing discussions as quite a few changes have now
been made to exclude JPublish (it would have to be put back into
the NOTICE/LICENSE files, the Libraries Included in OFBiz page,
removed from the OPTIONAL_LIBRARIES and change build files, code, etc.
We would also need to keep a repository or at least a patch and how-
to somewhere so the jar file could be reproduced.

David,
We and some other people we work with all have OFBIZ-based
applications from the ofbiz 3.x days which are jpublish-based, so
to remove jpublish from the SVN and put in something which is
incompatible with it basically breaks all of our applications and
forces us to start to diverge from the core ofbiz code base in a
way that we don't want to.
I know what you mean about jpublish being not actively maintained,
but the flipside it seems just to work ok for us, so we don't need
to do too much for it.
I guess if we can coordinate with Adam Heath to get a new bsf-
compatible jpublish in the SVN then everything will be fine.
Until then, are you planning to do something with the new bsf
modules? Could it wait until Adam finds it in his kindness to
send us an updated jpublish that he keeps promising?

Do we really want to do this? Part of the reason we wanted to
remove JPublish is that there doesn't seem to be much a community
around it and no one is maintaining it.
In other words, if we want it in OFBiz, we have to maintain it...
Unless it is really useful for something, I have a big problem
with that...
So, I guess in order to decide it would be good to know what
you're planning on (or have done) with JPublish that wouldn't
work with other things... and then see if that justifies
maintaining JPublish.

When do you think you can send this in?

David,
I see that you've removed jpublish so that the newer versions
of bsf can
be integrated. What can we do to put jpublish back into the main
repository? Is there a newer version of jpublish which would
work well
with the newer bsf stuff? We have a lot of things which require
jpublish, including some ajax-related stuff we were going to
contribute
back.
I've got a fixed jpublish I need to send in. I downloaded the
version
that ofbiz is using, and did the s/com.ibm.bsf/org.apache.bsf/
fix.
Seems to work locally.
Just been so busy.
