Hi Mark,

This might have slipped through with all the excitement around JavaFX being liberated and all the new JEPs. But it would really help us if you could take a quick peek and point us in the right direction.

It would be good for us to make sure we all distribute the same javax.script javascript support, whether it is ClosedJDK, OpenJDK, IcedTea or the MacOSX port. Users probably would like to be sure it is all compatible and supports the same features.

I forgot to poke Mark Reinhold again. Lets do that now :) Mark, could you point us to the sources of the Rhino variant as shipped with the Oracle ClosedJDK?

Maybe it is already in the distribution legal notes somewhere, but we looked and cannot find it (maybe we looked in the wrong place). Assuming you are redistributing Rhino under the GPL/MPL there really should at least be a conspicuous notice stating where to find the modifications used to make the binary Oracle is distributing (MPL section 3.6 and/or GPL section 3).

Thanks,

Mark
