What Java version are you testing?

I don't know anything about the engine as I've never touched it, but the code is there in 7, 8 and 9:
jdk/src/macosx/classes/apple/applescript/AppleScriptEngine.java
jdk/src/macosx/classes/apple/applescript/AppleScriptEngineFactory.java

It hasn't been touched much since the initial port.

If it's not working then I'd say it's unintentional since (generally speaking...) dead source is removed. I would recommend filing a bug.

Sorry I can't of more help on this :/
