Paul King updated GROOVY-10023:
-------------------------------
Description:
The version 2 of Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) AKA BeanShell hasn't had a
release since 2005. We plan to drop the {{groovy-bsf}} module for Groovy 4. We
asked on the dev and users lists:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/6xxhyq2hfqkyjkhyklj1tpm5bxd34r5l
We also did a twitter poll:
https://twitter.com/paulk_asert/status/1379672434131881985
We had 0% of users wanting to keep it - most folks wanting multiple language
scripting seem to be using JSR-223.
You should be able to happily continue using a 3.x version of the module with
Groovy 4.
There is also a version 3 of BSF planned but it appears to align with JSR-223
which Groovy already natively supports so it isn't clear whether any special
module is needed for that version.
