Jython

Hi Robert,

We recently started using IBM's Bean Scripting Framework to include
experimental scripting support for several scripting languages into
our java products at work, JPython included. Kind of fun to tell you
the truth. See if this fits your bill (and don't worry, there will be
work for you to do in Java to fit the two together).

Had to rebuild it from source to include Jython support (orig built
just for JPython), but I haven't noticed any issues with it yet.


For BSF:

To rebuild for Jython:

by the way... does anybody know the status of this project?? I know
according to the BSF newsgroup at the IBM site that it was supposed to
be moved over to Apache (can't find it there), but the newsgroup have
been eerily quiet and no-one there responded to the above question
when it was sent (eek).

I came across the same "BSF moving to Apache" factoid a few months ago,
and also couldn't find any information.

I popped off an email to the Apache people, asking "Is the IBM Bean
Scripting Framework moving to Apache?". They replied "The BSF is moving to
Apache? We didn't know about that, but that's cool!".

So, the status of the BSF is definitely looking "unknown" :-(

Hi All,

Been using Jython and Python for a while at work. They're both great.
I once asked a question here about the status of IBM's Bean Scripting
Framework that used JPython as one of its scripting languages. Well
here is an update (I searched and didn't see anyone else mention
it)... It has finally moved over to the Apache site!!!

They also did a new build (BSF 2.3) that incorporates Jython proper
(rather than having to rebuild it so it would move from JPython to
Jython). 

Hope this is of interest to a few of you
