### Description Netbeans does support debugging of legacy Nashorn JavaScript engine bundled with OpenJDK < 15.0. It does not support the the most recent Nashorn 15.4 extracted from OpenJDK, that has different package name. Request is to add debug support for the Nashorn 15.4. ### Use case/motivation Citing from Wikipedia: With the release of Java 11, Nashorn was deprecated citing challenges to maintenance, and has been removed from JDK 15 onwards - https://openjdk.org/jeps/372 Nashorn development [continues on GitHub](https://github.com/openjdk/nashorn) as a standalone [OpenJDK project](https://openjdk.java.net/projects/nashorn/). Because it has renamed the package name(s), the support located in below mentioned modules does not work: - org-netbeans-modules-debugger-jpda.jar - org-netbeans-modules-debugger-jpda-js.jar Quick and dirty renaming of constants describing the new package of Nashorn works for me. Question is if the Netbeans maintainers are willing to accept the fix. Bellow you can find the dirty patch: [nashorn-15.patch](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/files/14282746/nashorn-15.patch) I'd like to open discussion if and how the support can be added into Netbeans: a) just polish attached patch, **discarding the support for the old Nashorn** b) maintain **support for both Nashorn engines** at the same time - **automatic detection** c) maintain **support for both Nashorn engines** at the same time - by turning an **option in preferences** d) any other suggestion?
