Description

As discussed recently on ofbiz-users mailing list, I proposed to upgrade the Beanshell jar used by OFBiz (framework/base/lib/scripting/bsh.jar), which is based on a 1.3a1, to the current "stable" version, 2.0b4.

This has the following advantages:

• JDK1.5 interpretation capability
• various bugfixes

However as explained by David E. Jones here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/OFBiz+Customized+BeanShell+Source+(with+ParsedScript+object)

...it will be necessary to patch the source to allow for the script parsing on which OFBiz depends.

This fix MAY also resolve this bug:
