Just to be clear, the BeanShell2 approach is not "everybody getting their
stuff in".  Proposed features should wait for discussion before being
implemented.  And I review all code changes.  BeanShell2 is fully Java
compatible.  No changes that reduced Java compatibility would be accepted. 
If you look at the list of issues, you will see that most changes are bug
fixes, and a few are enhancements that don't reduce Java compatibility. 
BeanShell2 is more stable than BeanShell, with many bug fixes and no new
bugs introduced that I know of.  I use BeanShell2 in production code. 
BeanShell2 doesn't support Java 1.4 because using Java 1.5 allowed the code
to be greatly simplified, but I did suggest adding back Java 1.4 support
here http://code.google.com/p/beanshell2/issues/detail?id=9 if anyone wants
to do it.
