Fedora 40 bsh upgrade improves the JDK for Java systems, resolving major issues like type mishaps vulnerabilities.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable, Java source interpreter with

object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell

executes standard Java statements and expressions, in addition to

obvious scripting commands and syntax. BeanShell supports scripted

objects as simple method closures like those in Perl and

JavaScript(tm). You can use BeanShell interactively for Java

experimentation and debugging or as a simple scripting engine for your

applications. In short: BeanShell is a dynamically interpreted Java,

plus some useful stuff. Another way to describe it is to say that in

many ways BeanShell is to Java as Tcl/Tk is to C: BeanShell is

embeddable - You can call BeanShell from your Java applications to

execute Java code dynamically at run-time or to provide scripting

extensibility for your applications. Alternatively, you can call your

Java applications and objects from BeanShell; working with Java

objects and APIs dynamically. Since BeanShell is written in Java and

runs in the same space as your application, you can freely pass

references to "real live" objects into scripts and return them as

results.
