hi, Thanks for both. Yeah I saw the backport thing I had the same concern. And it seems like going for an external library is not as straightforward as I thought. The problem I am having is, I need to support Java6,7 and 8 with my application. It looks like using nashorn in 8u and rhino in older JDK versions is the only reliable option I have for now.
