-# Jython Scripting
+# Jython Scripting (DEPRECATED)
+
+::: tip Note:
+Currently, the development of Jython stopped at version 2.7 with no definite timeline to support Python 3.x.
+The 3rd party openHAB helper library for Jython is also no longer maintained.
+We would not recommend using Jython scripting at this point in time.
+For alternatives, check out the list of other supported [automation add-ons](https://www.openhab.org/addons/#automation).
+:::
 
 This add-on provides [Jython](https://www.jython.org/) 2.7.2 that can be used as a scripting language within automation rules and which eliminates the need to download Jython and create `EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS` entries for `bootclasspath`, `python.home` and `python.path`.
