BSF 3.x is a completely different thing, it consists in : - The javax.script API (JSR-223) which was integrated to Java 6. It runs on Java 1.4 and Java 5.
- A command line utility for querying the available script engines and executing scripts. - A helper class for converting a XML file into a scriptable XML object. - A servlet for running scripts on the server side (this feature is incomplete) So if BSF 3.x was to be packaged it should be a different package. BSF 3.x seems to be only used by Apache Tuscany: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.bsf/bsf-utils/3.1 BSF 2.x is used by Ant, Groovy, UIMA and Canoo WebTest: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/bsf/bsf/2.4.0 __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
