Actually, it's the Apache BSF that we use, so it's not a problem. But anyway, JMeter CVS and the zips only USE BSF (and BeanShell, which is not ASF) - it does not include any of the BSF or BeanShell code. This is done using reflection where necessary.
In order to build the code that uses BSF/BeanShell, the developer currently has to download the appropriate Jars. In the Gump builds, they are optional dependencies. The end-user only needs to download the jars if they are actually used by their test script. I've assumed that this gets round the limitations in Brian's e-mail, as there's no BSF or BSH jar in CVS or the zips. == It would be possible, but rather tedious/time-consuming/less efficient to take the same approach with the other jars. [BSF and BSH have a very simple API.] One possible solution might be to code skeleton classes for the external APIs; this would allow the calling code to be built stand-alone, and the actual jars would only be needed at run-time. The dummy code would need to use the same package names and class names etc as the real code - would that cause any license problems? There still remains the nuisance value for the end user of having to download multiple jars to get started, but I suppose we could supply a page with the links to the web-sites. Alsp possibly Ant targets to get the code (but what do we need to do about licences?).

You could simply migrate to Apache BSF <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/>. The whole migration can be done by replacing package names on imports. I don't think BSF has been in Sebb's list, though.
