By the way, if you are thinking about modernizing mmj2 there are two known issues with newer versions of the JDK. One is the missing nashorn support as already mentioned, and the other is an issue in the undo system which causes ComposedEdits to not work correctly (the required class doesn't exist on JDK 10+). It is being version-checked now so you shouldn't get any build failures, but the user experience is that undo goes one character at a time which is pretty miserable. Maybe there is something in newer versions of the JDK for this but I couldn't find anything useful in JDK 10. That's why I recommend JDK 9 for most mmj2 users.
