The Nashorn repo is in the process of being migrated to OpenJDK and as such is
incomplete in several areas.
- The build system is not fully integrated. When complete, Nashorn will be
installed in its proper location in the JRE.
- Once integrated, the correct version of the JDK will be wrapped around
Nashorn. In the meantime, ensure you use JDK8 b68 or later.
- The jjs tool has not been implemented in binary form yet. Use "sh bin/jjs"
(or bin/jjs.bat on windows) in the interm.
- The Dynalink component is not fully integrated into Nashorn as yet, but will
be when details are finalized.
- And, finally Nashorn is still in development. To stay up to date, subscribe
