Using Nashorn as an external library

[Sundararajan Athijegannathan]

While such a backport *may* work, nashorn developers are not conscious
of jdk7 or below compatibility in nashorn source code. Besides as
external library, you still need to provide all-permission to nashorn
code [to run under security manager]. There may be assumptions about
being loaded by extension loader.

Summary: I'd recommend migrating to 8u to be safe.
