Missing jjs on Mac OS

[Marcelo Rodrigues Costa]

This worked for me:

*Install the JDK8 and create an alias for your JDK's jjs (Nashorn
Interpreter), e.g., if you create a file called test.js, you can run the
program with:*

*$ jjs test.js*

*Mac OS = alias
jjs=’/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/jjs’*
