Switching from Rhino to Nashorn

Question

I have a Java 7 project which makes a lot of use of Javascript for scripting various features. Until now I was using Rhino as script engine. I would now like to move to Java

Answer 1

Nashorn cannot call static methods on instances! Rhino did this, therefore we had to backport Rhino to Java 8 (Here's a short summary: http://andreas.haufler.info/2015/04/using-rhino-with-java-8.html)
