Feature description

AFAIK Nashorn supports ES6 syntax. It would be nice to be able to use it for file transforms and other tasks

We use Nashorn the standard way, with the latest released library. Even if its documentation said that it supports some of the ES6 syntax, I tested them, and it didn't work.

I have no idea if we can do something about it, but long term we plan to deprecate this and switch to GraalVM for in-jvm scripting capability so we will not investigate too much about this.
