It's not a very good piece of code in my opinion. I personally don't hold a lot of stock in any code that comes from IBM. The Jetspeed code donated by IBM is some of _the_ worst code I have ever seen in my life. I'm not exactly impressed with Axis and the same goes for BSF. So BSF isn't going to be find it's way into Maven. If someone wants a particular scripting flavour I'll just add a factory to Plexus for that language and then you have full control over the interactions and are not bound to the homogeneity BSF gives you which can be very irritating when wanting to get at things like Jython's compilation mechanism. -- jvz.
