Ad ApacheCon US and BSF
Hi there,
on last week's ApacheCon US there was certainly quite some interest in
BSF, especially the upcoming BSF 3.0 which could serve the Harmony
project as well (one important area here are the BSF 3.0 scripting
engines, especially a/the Javascript/Rhino engine, which also is part of
the Sun Java distribution).
---
Also, after learning that possibly the JSR-223 TCK may be available from
Sun, I have requested it (sent via cc: to this list as well). Geir
answered it in the jcp-open list, here's his e-mail:

Subject: Re: Request for TCK for JSR 223 (Java 1.6 'javax.script')

Acknowledged.
My only concern is that there isn't an independent TCK for it if it's
part of Java 6. I'll find out.

Once I hear more, I will report it here.

Ad deployment of BSF: it is quite surprising in how many different
Apache projects BSF is employed, in order to make them
extensible/scriptable. One such example is Cocoon (cf.
<http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/script-generator.html>).

That's great, thank you!
At the moment Geir is checking upon the availability of the JSR-223 TCK.
Once word comes via the jcp-open list (where one can place such a
request), I will forward it to this list to inform everybody.

Hi,
I think there is a TCK beta available for Java 6 SE[1] which contains testsuite for JSR223 implementation. I can volunteer to test our implementation against that TCK if we can get access to it.
Thanks,
