Description

Method ScriptEngineManager.getFactories() (trunk code and tags/bsf-3.0-beta1/ code) returns an array of ScriptEngineFactory. However JSR 223 Scripting for the Java™ Platform Final Draft Specification version 1.0 (section SCR.4.3.8.1 Discovery Mechanism, page 168) says that should return List<ScriptEngineFactory>.

Particularly this issue makes impossible develop client code using bsf3.0-beta1 maintaining the compatibility with Java 6 Scripting API reference implementation
