Status Module "Sling Scripting ESX"

[Jörg Hoh <jh...@googlemail.com.INVALID>]

Hi,

while working on SLING-11601 I found that the "Scripting ESX" module is
hardly maintained. It still uses an old "org.apache.sling:sling" parent
version 30, which does not even build with Java 11, but still requires
Java8.

Besides a patch in 2019 I see the last relevant changes in April 2017 by
Bertrand, see [1].

I see major work to bring this module up-to-date, especially because it
also requires activities on the node side, which I am not an expert in.

How should we proceed with it? Are there any users of this module out there
which are interested in it?

Jörg

I think it's safe to assume that that module remained an experimental
contribution (as mentioned in its README), commits after April 2017
are just housekeeping and it was never released AFAICS.

I suggest deprecating it as per [2], that can always be undone if
someone wants to resurrect it later.
