Hi,
Nashorn parser API (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/236) will be pushed
shortly to jdk9. That should help with these use cases.
In the meanwhile, there is script API for parsing. This is loaded and
called using
load("nashorn:parser.js")
and calling top level function "parse".
For a sample, please try this one:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/nashorn/file/2feff3616ba7/samples/astviewer.js
Hope this helps,
-Sundar

From time to time, I've looked at using PMD for various metadata scanners for
Java code. It's very easy to define callbacks for various syntax elements and
then gather data from those found elements. I'm starting to see people looking
at doing similar things for JavaScript code. Is there a straightforward way to
use Nashorn to do this kind of thing?
