Re: The sad state of Java scripting

Hi all,

I'm usually just lurking on this list.

The last post from someone apparently part of the "Beanshell team"
appears to be this one back on February on the developer list

 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=erq0v2%24mb5%241%40sea.gmane.org

where Daniel Leuck accepts a bug fix, says he need to ask Pat Niemeyer -
who is the creator and project lead - before granting new commit access
to the project, and ends with

However I couldn't find anything recent from Pat.

So I think first of all we should try and get some news from Pat if at
all possible, or from somebody who is in contact with him personally.

Also the BeanShell code has been moved from SourceForge.net to
ikayzo.org at some point; both Pat and Daniel are listed on this page
