A timely reply? Umm, I am not sure what you are getting at here. I
have provided access to the
working NetRexx JSR223 engine
that I wrote as research into the feasibility of providing that
support. I have indicated my willingness to look at it further if
NetRexx ever becomes open source so that some needed changes for
JSR223 support can be made. And I think you have misinterpreted my
statements about JSR223.
Granted that I may have been spoiled by a fairly well defined
environment when I wrote the NetRexxScript engine for jEdit, but the
JSR223 specification does not seem well defined to me. However, that
was not what stopped me from developing the JSR223 NetRexx engine
into an efficient and full featured implementation. It was the fact
that I could not find any place to even test such a thing much less
usefully deploy it. I was left wondering if JSR223 implementations
are strictly advertising hype that almost no one actually uses
anywhere. I remain unconvinced that there is a real use case for
NetRexx JSR223. Statements to the effect that it would be "great" if
NetRexx offered JSR223 support only confirm my view that there is no
real need for it at this time.
I understand that some people are thinking along the line of "Build
it and they will come" but I have other projects that need my time
and are more important to me than speculative ones. If I want to to
do something of that type, I will create a general purpose NetRexx
version of Google's App Inventor system and see if people flock to
NetRexx from that!

Okay, we hear you loud and clear Kermit... in your view JSR223 is
crap, so nobody should use it... or even think about using it...
