BSF 3.x is a completely different thing, it consists in :
- The javax.script API (JSR-223) which was integrated to Java 6. It runs
on Java 1.4 and Java 5.
- A command line utility for querying the available script engines and
executing scripts.
- A helper class for converting a XML file into a scriptable XML object.
- A servlet for running scripts on the server side (this feature is
incomplete)
So if BSF 3.x was to be packaged it should be a different package.
BSF 3.x seems to be only used by Apache Tuscany:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.bsf/bsf-utils/3.1
BSF 2.x is used by Ant, Groovy, UIMA and Canoo WebTest:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/bsf/bsf/2.4.0
