I built it with the system version of Debian 10 bsh 2.0b4-19. and this
part works.
Ok.

Now the build hangs with hsqldb

there I have no success to change to the system version of hsqldb 1.8.0

Well, the issue is that Java has removed a insecure System API, which HSQLDB uses:

   cannot find symbol  System.runFinalizersOnExit(true);

All resources I found are saying you should not use this API. So maybe you can remove the code. Maybe not because the Programmer has been super smart.

Maybe we can try a later version and it works?! Maybe 1.9 works?

- I do not know. But this one is a real action point. And thgus I started the discussion. Figuring out what we do now is here imho the most vital part.

Any interest in looking into getting beanshell into some more stable 
situation... It looks like it's been majorly refactored.
kind regards
