You be able to eventually write plugins in anything plexus allows a component to be written in so if someone wants to make something for BSF then it will be an option. Currently you can do Java, Beanshell and Jython. But I'm am not a huge fan of BSF either. > That way, if I'm understanding things correctly, the actual > plugin implementations could be written in a scripting language of > choice. But, maybe that would just cause more headaches. Yah, I find BSF a big crufty hack. If I'm going to embed a scripting language I now just do it directly. > The important > part seems to be making the POM data accessible in a nice generic way -- > no matter what the language. Right, I think every scripting language of interest to me can easily extend a Java class. So a nice base class for a plugin and you can do all the hard work for users so they can focus on the plugin concern. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
