RFE : Rewrite with JDK9 Nashorn JavaScript engine (ES6) #290

Open OlivierJaquemet opened 7 years ago

OlivierJaquemet commented 7 years ago

The next major release of Java, JDK9, will provide an updated version of the Nashorn JavaScript engine. This version will include a JavaScript parsing API, and will support ES6.

A nice improvement (probably complex rewrite...) would be to use this engine to support new ES6 features.

That will fix a lot of problems, when you try to minify Es6 code.

Update : with JEP 335, Nashorn is considered for deprecation and future removal : http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/335
