Does anyone know if there is an open source project to port PowerShell as a
Java scripting language like Jython, Jruby, and Jperl?

There was a port for Mono that started up, but quickly stalled.

I'm going to say 99.9% "NO" on someone working on jPowerShell... Without
the underlying .NET, I can't see the "fun" in porting...

Just to add some details - Mono-based Powershell is called Pash and you can
find some details here:
http://pash.sourceforge.net/

As far as I know, it was not completely abandoned, even thought its not very
active this year :(

Thanks marco and martin. I originally ran straight to PASH, but it looks
dormant. However, I think you'd be able to do a significant portion of the
language in JAVA - if you can get python, java, etc. to work. Probably not
all of the windows specific stuff.
