-------------------------------------

Hoss, you are right, it is not required that JS is available, the Java 6 specs 
says [http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/j2se-1.6.0-pr-spec-oth-JSpec/]:

JSR 223: Scripting for the Java Platform  
A large percentage of Java developers also use scripting languages. While the 
Java language is suitable for many tasks, and especially for writing robust, 
long-lived applications, scripting languages are useful for many other tasks.

JSR 223 defines a framework for connecting interpreters of arbitrary scripting 
languages to Java programs. It includes facilities for locating the available 
scripting engines, invoking scripts from Java code and vice versa, and making 
Java application objects visible to scripts. The framework is divided into two 
parts, the Scripting API and an optional Web Scripting Framework. This feature 
will incorporate just the Scripting API into this version of the Java SE 
platform.

There will be no requirement that any particular scripting language be 
supported by the platform; implementors may choose to include support for the 
scripting language(s) of their choice as they see fit.

[ JSR 223; javax.script ]

But all JDKs on all platforms except FreeBSD contain them. So we should have 
the "error messages" printed on failure to lookup engine and the assumption in 
test as you committed.

But as Erik says, too: No need to ship engines. Its just bloat because there 
are millions of them :-)

> A script based UpdateRequestProcessorFactory (Uses JDK6 script engine 
> support). The main goal of this plugin is to be able to configure/write 
> update processors without the need to write and package Java code.
> The update request processor factory enables writing update processors in 
> scripts located in {{solr.solr.home}} directory. The functory accepts one 
> (mandatory) configuration parameter named {{scripts}} which accepts a 
> comma-separated list of file names. It will look for these files under the 
> {{conf}} directory in solr home. When multiple scripts are defined, their 
> execution order is defined by the lexicographical order of the script file 
> name (so {{scriptA.js}} will be executed before {{scriptB.js}}).
> The script language is resolved based on the script file extension (that is, 
> a *.js files will be treated as a JavaScript script), therefore an extension 
> is mandatory.
> Each script file is expected to have one or more methods with the same 
> signature as the methods in the {{UpdateRequestProcessor}} interface. It is 
> *not* required to define all methods, only those hat are required by the 
> processing logic.
> The following variables are define as global variables for each script:
>  * {{req}} - The SolrQueryRequest
>  * {{rsp}}- The SolrQueryResponse
>  * {{logger}} - A logger that can be used for logging purposes in the script
