Public bug reported:
The packages specifying Rhino support, `com.sun.script.javascript.*`,
are missing from OpenJDK 7, though they were included in OpenJDK 6.
This causes the `getEngineByName("JavaScript")` call on a
`ScriptEngineManager` to return `null` (see my [StackOverflow question
for this issue][1]).
Specifically, this code should return `2` but throws a
`NullPointerException`:
ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
try {
System.out.println(engine.eval("1+1"));
} catch (ScriptException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
This might very well be the cause of [openjdk-7 bug #920214][2].
According to [Oracle bug #6876736][3], this is indeed a distro bug.
Note that when Rhino was included in OpenJDK 6, it caused package
conflicts ([openjdk-6 bug #255149][4], [Debian bug #512970][5]) .
Based on question [#192941][6]
