This project implememts a BeanShell kernel for Jupyter Notebokks based on the Juptyer JVM BaseKernel project by Spencer Park. The project is a simple wrapper to start a Beanshell interpreter using the JSR223 script engine factory, and then call eval() to do all of the work.

1. Adjust dependency versions and repository locations as required.

2. Compile with gradlew:

gradlew clean jar

1. Copy the resulting beanshell_kernel-1.0.0.jar file to a reliable location, for example to /home/me/jupyter_beanshell.

2. Create a kernel.json specification file similar to the following:

{
 "argv": ["java",
          "-classpath",
              "/home/me/jupyter_beanshell/beanshell_kernel-1.0.0.jar",
              "ca.spatial.jupyter.IBeanshell",
              "{connection_file}"],
 "display_name": "BeanShell",
 "language": "beanshell"
}

For example, create this file as /home/me/jupyter_beanshell/kernel.json

3. Install the kernel in the usual way by specifying the name of the folder that contains the kernel.json file:

jupyter kernelspec install /home/me/jupyter_beanshell

4. Start the notebook application, and select the "BeanShell" kernel.
