If my build process download Rhino first and then setup/update the build to use it, could I use it. If so, should we rename Rhino classname and patch OpenJDK sources to use these new classes ? Or use rename them like JDJ7u1 do, ie org/mozilla/classfile -> sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal ? I notice Oracle JDK7 preview still didn't include them. JDK7u1 include them : sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ByteCode.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileField.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileMethod.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter$ClassFileFormatException.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter$StackMapTable.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ConstantPool.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ExceptionTableEntry.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/FieldOrMethodRef.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/SuperBlock.class sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/TypeInfo.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/Arguments.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BaseFunction.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BeanProperty.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BoundFunction.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/Callable.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/ClassCache.class sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/ClassShutter.class .... > IMHO if a JDK includes javax.script javascript support we should make > sure they include the same version and features.
