Would you consider adding support for jav8 #14

Ref: http://code.google.com/p/jav8/

Rhino is not getting any faster. While we could install node on our development boxes, changing the maven config to use jav8 instead would be less painful.

+1 Java8 would be a great option as it would be easier as it doesn't mean all developers need to have node installed when they're java developers.

I'd love to run the optimizer with something faster than Rhino, and Java8 looks promising. Good find. I will try to make some time soon to start working on it. Of course, pull requests are also always welcome. :)

Node support has been added, and will likely be released soon. That should resolve any speed issues, so I am going to close this issue. For details on testing nodejs see Issue #13

That sounds fine. I had a play with this, but there wasn't an easy way to incorporate jav8 without just as much, if not more, hassle as installing and running it with node. Perhaps Nashorn will bridge the gap at some point, but I'm not holding my breath...
