I couldn't find the right comment sequence to get it to work, I think i read
somewhere its ok for a file like this to not have a license header

This appears to be a bug with the pnuts engine. This isn't a blocker is it?


- You have built with jdk1.5, although the version supported is
1.4.2(assuming you developed using

Thats true. The maven-compiler-plugin is set to use 1.4 though and I have
used this with Synapse using 1.4.2 i think. Is this an issue?

Geir has said it is ok:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-bsf-dev/200703.mbox/%3c71e1b5740703150549p2b0eb58kfe615485afbb69a7@mail.gmail.com%3e

- Are we allowed to redistribute the engines in bsf-engines ? Doest BSF work

This is a point in time thing to make BSF useful without requiring uses do
extra downloads. I hope we can stop doing this in the near future by
implementing a core set of our own engines, or in the more medium term
future, i think script languages don't include a JSR-223 engine today as
there's no JSR-223 API impl available under a good license, so once BSF
passes the TCK script languages may start including their own JSR-223
engine.

I believe we are ok distributing them for now. They are under a BSD license
which according to the 3rd party licensing policy is a "Category A:
Authorized License". See: http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html and
https://scripting.dev.java.net/.

- What is the distribution directory in the src zip / tgz ?


It contains the build scripts to build the bsf-all jar and for the maven
assembly plugin to create the bin and src distributions.

- No site in source (maybe useful in dist?)
> - No javadoc in binary dist


These are both true. Next release? Also note that right now most Javadoc
comments just refer to the Sun docs, eg see:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/bsf/trunk/bsf3/bsf-api/src/main/java/javax/script/SimpleScriptContext.java


Some are blocking, some are not (also depending on some answers)  :)
