The Apache Jakarta BSF team announces the release of BSF 3.0.

 Apache Jakarta BSF 3 is an open-source implementation of JSR-223,
         "Scripting for the Java Platform".

 [BSF3 was developed according to the JSR-223 specs, but has not yet
 been tested using the JSR-223 TCK.]

 See http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/

 This is a bug-fix release to correct a problem that was
 discovered with 3.0-beta3:
 * BSF-35 Wrong parameter type for [Simple]Bindings.put - key must be a
 String, not an Object
 The release also includes an updated test application.

 This version of BSF requires Java 1.4 or later.

 The release can be downloaded from:

 http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_bsf.cgi

 When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file.

 All users running earlier versions of 3.0 are recommended to upgrade.

 Note that BSF 3.0 is not compatible with BSF 2.4, which uses a different API.

 Enjoy!
 The BSF team

About Cactus -

Cactus is a simple test framework for unit testing server-side java code
(Servlets, EJBs, Tag Libs, Filters, ...).

The intent of Cactus is to lower the cost of writing tests for server-side
code. It uses JUnit &lt;http://junit.org/&gt; and extends it.

Cactus implements an in-container strategy, meaning that tests are executed
inside the container.

Enjoy,

Jakarta Cactus Team

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<pre>
The Apache Velocity Team announces the immediate availability of the
of Apache Velocity Engine 1.6.  This release is fully compatible with
the previous release and includes significant improvements in
performance, stability and features.

Apache Velocity is well-known in the Java field as a lightweight,
easy-to-use templating library for creating dynamic web sites and
performing other text-generation tasks.

Much work in this release has gone to making significant improvements
in the memory usage and speed of Velocity.  Apart from this, a number
of small parser bugs were fixed, tempate/line/column information in
error messages has been corrected and made consistent, and many new
features were added.  Many of the latter are listed below:

* There are three new directives:
  - #evaluate takes a single string of VTL as an argument and renders it.
  - #define is a cousin of #macro, that lets define a reference that
represents the body of the directive, which is then evaluated when the
reference is used.
  - #break lets you exit a #foreach loop early.

* There are reflection improvements:
   - You may now call JDK 1.5 vararg methods on your tools and other
references with variable arguments.
   - You can put a static utility class directly into the context and
be able to call its methods; no instance necessary. (e.g.
context.put("Math", java.util.Math.class))
   - If you have a reference that is an array, you can now call
fixed-length list methods on it. (e.g. $array.size() and
$array.get($index) )
   - There is now support for chaining and linking Uberspect
implementations to simplify custom introspection.

* The underlying Velocimacro code has been refactored to allow:
  - Much, much better performance than Velocity 1.5
  - #parse( 'mymacros.vm' ) to work as expected!!
  - macro libraries to be programatically included when calling
template.merge(...)
  - users to configure a velocimacro.max.depth property (to limit
recursion et al)

* CommonsLogLogChute and ServletLogChute are now available without
including VelocityTools

* The StringResourceLoader has undergone major refactoring to make it
much more user-friendly and flexible.

* There is now an automatic $velocityHasNext reference in #foreach loops

* You can now configure the connection timeout for URLResourceLoader
(JDK 1.5+ only)

Documentation Velocity 1.6 can be found here:
   http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.6/

The Velocity developers are pleased to make the second beta release of
VelocityTools 2.0 available for download.
Downloads are available here:
  http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi

Major development in VelocityTools 2.0 has been essentially complete
for some time, and the focus is on fixing the remaining bugs,
completing the documentation, and providing clear migration paths for
users of VelocityTools 1.x.  Significant new features in 2.0 include
very flexible, composable toolbox configuration (via either java, xml,
and/or properties), lazy-loading/initialization of tools, the
VelocityViewTag for embedding Velocity within JSP, simplified
embedding of VelocityTools in other frameworks, an assortment of new
and improved tools, and much more.

This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4, with a
few minor exceptions where things already deprecated earlier in 1.x
have been removed.  The 2.x series of VelocityTools also requires both
Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.

At this point, the new tool management and configuration facilities
are extremely stable and useable.  Documentation has continued to
improve dramatically and is nearing completion. There are no open or
known bugs in this release nor significant changes anticipated before
2.0 final is released.

We are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially
regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or
earlier.  We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for
developers and their applications.

The Apache Commons team is pleased to announce the release of
version 2.4 of Commons Lang.

Lang provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably
String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods, object
reflection, creation and serialization, System properties and a
series of utilities dedicated to help with building methods, such as
hashCode, toString and equals.

There are a few new classes, and a lot of new methods in Lang 2.4.
Of course there are also a bunch of bugfixes too. We've written a
short article to cover all of these:
