Nashorn does not seem to conform to the ecma spec for property accessors
for Package sub-package access...

For example, the results of these 2 expressions differ...

jjs> java['net']
undefined
jjs> java.net
[JavaPackage java.net]

The bracket notation ([ ]) worked for accessing sub-packages in javascript
in Java6 & Java7.
