Public bug reported: If the default Java is OpenJDK7, rhino crashs with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle. The java.lang.invoke package is part of the new invokedynamic feature introduced in Java 7.
It looks the problem is in the shell script that launches rhino (/usr/bin/rhino). It assumes that if you're running OpenJDK, you want the OpenJDK6 runtime library: #!/bin/sh JAVA_CMD="/usr/bin/java" JAVA_OPTS="" JAVA_CLASSPATH="/usr/share/java/js.jar:/usr/share/java/jline.jar" JAVA_MAIN="org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main" ## Fix for #512498 ## Change Bootclasspath when using OpenJDK because OpenJDK6 ## bundle his own release of Rhino. ## References: ## <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/255149> ## <http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179> ## <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91641> isOpenJDK=`$JAVA_CMD -version 2>&1 | grep -i "OpenJDK" | wc -l` if [ $isOpenJDK -gt 0 ] then JAVA_OPTS="-Xbootclasspath:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar" fi $JAVA_CMD $JAVA_OPTS -classpath $JAVA_CLASSPATH $JAVA_MAIN "$@" A simple fix is to modify this shell script to include the correct version of rt.jar.
