Hello Nashorners,

I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a JS API 
documentation tool to use with Nashorn JS (like JavaDoc for JavaScript)?

Currently I use JSDoc, but it currently only runs on either Node.js or 
Rhino, so it's not ideal as I have to fire up Rhino to use it. Would be 
nice if it ran on Nashorn too, then I wouldn't have to use another JS 
engine just to produce the docs.

I asked the JSDoc3 team if they had plans for supporting Nashorn but 
they said not currently (but they'll accept contributions) 
https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc/issues/686#issuecomment-47246308 which 
was a bit disappointing.
