I can quote Alan:
Rhino used to be the JS engine in older releases and that may have
been in rt.jar and so loaded by the boot loader. When Nashorn
replaced it (in JDK 8) then it was configured to be defined to the
extension class loader so this is why the code snippet doesn't find it.
how is this handles in JDK 9 now?
In the JDK 8, the Nashorn classes were loaded/defined by the extension
class loader. In JDK 9, the jdk.scripting.nashorn module is mapped to
the platform (formerly extension) class loader. So no real change and
the issue that Robert refers to must be an issue with JDK 8 too. I can't
quite tell if this is the same as what Peter is seeing but if Maven is
creating class loaders with null as the parent then some of the platform
classes, and the classes in the service provider modules, will not be
visible.
