Hi,

I am afraid it is not the semi-colon - I may have forgotten it in my
original test, but my problem is that it is looking for a command called
"String".

$ cat > hello.bsh <<EOF
> #!/usr/bin/bsh
> String a = "Hello";
> System.out.println(a);
> EOF
$ chmod u+x hello.bsh
$ ./hello.bsh
./hello.bsh: line 2: String: command not found
./hello.bsh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `a'
./hello.bsh: line 3: `System.out.println(a);'

For the sake of it I also tried experimental - same result.

However the following works (only used bsh/testing for these):

$ bsh <<EOF
String a = "Hello";
System.out.println(a);
EOF

(In terms of executing the code - The bsh prompt however makes it rather
useless for other intentions)

And calling bsh directly works as well:
$ bsh hello.bsh
Hello

Testing:

When I tried experimental:

[...]
Version: 2.0b4-9
[...]


My /usr/bin/java is the non-free sun6, though I doubt it is the cause of
the problem.
