I originally looked at Rhino as a way to quickly get a JS compiler for IL. I then realized that was a very bad idea. Rhino is strongly tied to the JVM and Java classes. Trying to port it over wouldn't be as simple as, say, porting JOrbis to C#. If your final goal is a JS runtime for IL, then IMNSHO, Rhino is *not* the right way to go. Also, after talking with the Mozilla people, the JS2 engine would be much more suited for compiling JavaScript to IL, however there are issues of writing some runtime support that needs to be done. So, if I was you, I'd pick to some other Java app to port over, especially if your final goal is getting JS on Mono. I can give people pointers to what one would need to look into on JS2 to get it working with Mono. Thanks, Mark Crichton
