[ApacheDS] Scripting, groovy, stored procedures and Java 6

[Alex Karasulu <ak...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

I don't know what state Groovy LDAP is in but it would be really neat to be
able to leverage Groovy as a SP scripting language in the server. This means
certain bindings will most likely be needed but there's also the Java 6
scripting support we will need. Regardless of this need for Java 6, I'm of
the opinion we should move to Java 6 anyway considering the EOL for Java 5.

Thoughts?

You may alternatively use BSF 3.0 that provides the JSR 223 scripting 
support down to JDK 1.4, i.e. in a Java 6 environment you can drop the BSF 
artifact while for Java 5 it is enough to add it as runtime dep.
