Re: Release Plans?
What ever happened to the release? It would really be nice to have a single
version of BSF that supports current versions of RHINO in ANT.

Jakarta Commons components all link to documentation on how to do
releases. It's commons-centric, but I bet it's 95% relevant to BSF.
Let me know if I can help - give me a private email to flag the thread
in my inbox as I don't check the BSF list very often.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/index.html
There's a Commons nightly build script that could conceivably be
extended to handle BSF.

Do you have enough people on the pmc to do a release vote ?
I am monitoring the list, but if I miss the vote, ping me..

I've removed the section on JPython since we've removed JPython Engine
some time
back and now the development has moved to Jython project. I've also
fixed some
broken links.

I've fixed the broken links. BTW can update the link to your presentation
on 'Using Rexx with BSF' ? The following link is not working ..
http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/wi.wu-wien.ac.at/Studium/LVA-Unterlagen/%20poolv/folien/2001_orx12.pdf
I am sure you can also add the materials which you must be having

Great!
Looking at it, two little remarks:
* the links for BSF4Rexx have been outdated (for the time being:
<http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/>), as the
codebase and applicability has grown (there is now specific
OpenOffice/StarOffice support via BSF4Rexx included, cf. the first
snippet examples at <http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/>
looking for the language "ooRexx", they all work via BSF4Rexx);
of course, if I can I would change those links myself to alleviate
that burden a little bit from your shoulders; OTOH I would not

Hmm, good question. I would suggest to consider:
* automatic builds, if the source got changed (or even an automatic
daily build) to create a binary distribution off the latest
code-base for users,
* update the supported languages; it seems that there is a directory
tree with updated information that is not used for the Jakarta BSF
WWW site at the moment (like the JLog or ooRexx infos),
* maybe there are Apache Jakarta policies in place which would
influence the setup to use for both, which should be taken into
account?
Hope that helps a little bit, and thanks a lot for your stepping

well, haven't heard back from Sanjiva or Sanka on that matter,
unfortunately.
The BSF sources are up-to-date, but the binary distribution (and the
web-site itself) is not. :-(
(As I have no experience or overview on creating daily-builds and
maintaining/publishing for the Jakarta BSF-site, for tight
resource-restrictions I cannot do anything about this situation, I am
afraid. *But* you could get the latest build from the zip-archive
"BSF4RExx_install.zip" at
<http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/>, extracting the
file "bsf4rexx/bsf-v205-20060410.jar". Hope that helps)
