"jjs" does not run that script.

Did I miss the doc of this init.js under the link or should the link be
fixed? I would add the startup description to its own section and reserve
see also for references.

So for nashorn only the ecma script objects (like Math) are bound?
-scripting is registering the documented extensions, what about -strict?

Hm, I mean the formatting (and I had the impression the links did not work,
but they actually do, so sorry for the false alarm)

It lists the prefixes (fx and nashorn) but not the available script names
(or where to find the resources). Is nashorn: a resource loader scheme?

Yes, I mean the scripting start page or directly the nashorn user guide,
the section about the scripting extension is relevant (
http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/nashorn/shell.html#sthref24
)

Ah cool, are there any synthetic objects hidden?

Indeed, thanks!
