Using Nashorn on a web app platform

[Edmond Kemokai]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the follow-up.

I went ahead and installed and tested with JDK 8, so far it seems to work
as expected...it seems my problem was using jdk-7.

By the way if you want to try it, you'll need to

*create a new App,
*for new app, change the scripting engine for Javascript as demonstrated
here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/crudzilla/nashorn.gif
*restart HiveMind
*create a new script with type Javascript
*write any suitable Javascript snippet
*right-click and select test
*click run

-Edmond
