New candidate JEP: 335: Deprecate the Nashorn JavaScript Engine (original) (raw)

To answer Johan and Ben,

OrientDB is released as a bundle, compatible with Java8, with Apache2 license, if Nashorn is separately released with GPL license we won't be able to use it. Moreover, it is distributed as a binary package and it is compatible with Java 8, so we should see how to bundle Nashorn in the distribution without creating conflicts with the classpath in Java 8.

Thanks

Luigi

Well, I don’t wanted to express any concern. It is just, in den JEP they write:

"The breadth of Nashorn usage has not been easy to track. It is hoped that feedback for this JEP might provide better insight into actual Nashorn usage." … and that is what happens now. We give feedback. I am fine with whatever solution we might come up.

Best regards, Mario

Even in the absence of an Oracle-blessed upgrade path (whether that's TruffleJS on HotSpot, or a full-blown move to GraalVM), the community surely always has this option?

We too use it in our application to allow to configure highly non-standard processes which is not easy to build a configuration for and also not worth to clutter the codebase.
