No problem. There was some activity on github.
Please note: That does not mean the component is being developed.
Dependabot runs on most components, and that generates traffic.
Also there may need to be changes to asf.yaml which affect all
components on github.
Etc. This is no indication that the component is being actively
maintained, as such changes need very little (if any) knowledge of the
component.
Well, I have been interesting in keeping BSF up and going.
I ran the owasp dependency
check thing against it and found a few issues, attempted to update some of
the dependencies (jython) and hit a bit of a snag. I'm not entirely sure
where to go from here. I'm not sure if anyone else has attempted this or
not.
Note that the component has a separate 3.x version, which is based on
JSR-223 - see https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-bsf/
I’m not entirely sure that either are still needed.
BSF 3.0, the open-source implementation JSR-223 (package javax.script) may not be needed anymore
with OpenJDK containing it.

This is an open source project, so support is as best as us volunteers see
fit or have itches to scratch ;-)
In this case the lack of activity might show that the original authors
could have abandoned the component. Let's see how else pipes in.
At least one project (BSF4ooRexx, e.g. <https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/beta/>)
has been actively using it.

Is the bsf library still supported? Looks like the website hasn't been
published since 2011.
This is mostly a question of free time on one's hands. E.g. for the BSF4ooRexx project I have a few
little changes applied to BSF which I have always been meaning to incorporate.
Alex, your initiative w.r.t. jython and the website are highly welcome!

P.S.: Will try to assess the differences between the official BSF and the one in BSF4ooRexx in the
next weeks (time permitting) and then adding the few enhancements with JIRA tickets for tracking.
One thing that will take me some time is re-orienting myself to
<https://github.com/apache/commons-bsf> and learn about becoming able to commit there (not sure
where I would have to register/report my github id such that it can be associated with my ASF id).
