Related to the current discussion about JDK1.5 compatibility and JAR upgrades, 
I'd like to raise the possibility of upgrading bsh to the current "stable" 
version, 2.0b4.   This version is compatible with JDK1.5, and I have used it 
without hitches on another project for over a year, without problems.

I would specifically like to upgrade to it, to support the ZK rich client 
library (www.potix.com), which requires it.

The main problem with the upgrade is that the API for parsing and holding onto 
scripts has changed substantially, which will require quite a few changes in 
BshUtil and associated classes.  I'd be happy to do/help with the rewrite but I 
would first like to know:
 a. What are other opinions about this upgrade?
 b. Is there any documentation about the philosophy of BshUtil?
 c. Are there any regression tests for BshUtil, given that bsh is used pretty 
extensively throughout OFBiz?
