    Description

      The version 2 of Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) AKA BeanShell hasn't had a release since 2005. We plan to drop the groovy-bsf module for Groovy 4. We asked on the dev and users lists:

      https://lists.apache.org/thread/6xxhyq2hfqkyjkhyklj1tpm5bxd34r5l

      We also did a twitter poll:

      https://twitter.com/paulk_asert/status/1379672434131881985

      We had 0% of users wanting to keep it - most folks wanting multiple language scripting seem to be using JSR-223.
      You should be able to happily continue using a 3.x version of the module with Groovy 4.

      There is also a version 3 of BSF planned but it appears to align with JSR-223 which Groovy already natively supports so it isn't clear whether any special module is needed for that version.
