Rhino build support

If my build process download Rhino first and then setup/update the
build to use it, could I use it.

If so, should we rename Rhino classname and patch OpenJDK sources to
use these new classes ?
Or use rename them like JDJ7u1 do, ie org/mozilla/classfile ->
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal ?

I notice Oracle JDK7 preview still didn't include them.

JDK7u1 include them :

sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ByteCode.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileField.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileMethod.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter$ClassFileFormatException.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter$StackMapTable.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ClassFileWriter.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ConstantPool.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/ExceptionTableEntry.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/FieldOrMethodRef.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/SuperBlock.class
sun/org/mozilla/classfile/internal/TypeInfo.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/Arguments.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BaseFunction.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BeanProperty.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/BoundFunction.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/Callable.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/ClassCache.class
sun/org/mozilla/javascript/internal/ClassShutter.class

What's the status about this ?
