Using Nashorn as an external library

[eranda rajapaksha]

Hi,

I have a problem on the $subject, and I would be really grateful if anyone
can help me out on this.

I am using Nashorn engine with Java 8. But due to non-availability of
Nashorn in earlier java versions, I have a difficulty in achieving the
required level of performance with those. Is there an alternative for that,
such as using the Nashorn as an external Jar library with my java
application, so that it would be independent from the running Java version?

Thanks,
