Due to the removal of Nashorn, the scripts that process pandoc json AST
files need to be rewritten in Java.
This patch replaces the javascript transformation filters with the same
functionality in Java. I have verified using the compare script that the
output is indeed unchanged. I have also reverted the change in
JDK-8243109 which was a workaround for bootcycle images, which stopped
working when Nashorn was removed from the JDK. (Since it's still present
in the Boot JDK, everything except bootcycle images still work fine for
JDK 15.)
The JSON parser comes from Project Skara. I have made a few patches,
which cleans up some code (to stop IntelliJ from complaining about
ugliness), and added some functionality that was needed by this use
case. For those who are interested, the patchset compared to the
upstream Skara code is here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ihse/skara-json-patches/webrev.01/. I will
talk with Project Skara to see if they are interested in incorporating
this patch, so the code bases do not diverge.
