They never learn, do they?

I’m completely with Dion, we need a good beanshell lib, not a standard. This is the return of “royal blood”, like Sun were to bless some individually selected stuff to make them worthy of hanging around the palace.

If BeanShell becomes part of the core Java distribution then there may be multiple implementations in the same way that we have multiple Java compiler implementations.

In any case, the language needs to be specified. The JCP is as good or better a forum as any.

Bob -

It may be more mature, but I still don’t see ANY reason to have a JSR :)

Are there 10 implementations from various vendors and we need to standardize? :)

Heh, BeanShell is getting a lot less conservative with some of the stuff that’s been tossed around lately =)

It makes a lot more sense for BeanShell than Groovy. The BeanShell language is much more conservative and mature.
