Adding JavaScript is not hard.

That's fine, we won't ever be using BSF directly. 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.
