Future of Jython?

[Iwan van der Kleyn]

Hi there,
I'm busy sketching the broad outlines (pre-design) of a java-based 
middelware componment for a customer. Functionional requirements demand 
a scripting component and I would like to choose Jython. However, the 
latest release of Jython has been nearly a year ago, the site doesn't 
look very up to date and CVS on sourceforge has about 4 commits in 2002. 
So I'm definitely left with the impression that as a project Jython is 
dying. I hope I'm wrong , so could anyone fill me in about the 
"condition" of Jython? Does it have a future?

Regards,

Iwan
