Using Nashorn as an external library

[eranda rajapaksha]

hi,

Thanks for both.
Yeah I saw the backport thing I had the same concern. And it seems like
going for an external library is not as straightforward as I thought.
The problem I am having is, I need to support Java6,7 and 8 with my
application. It looks like using nashorn in 8u and rhino in older JDK
versions is the only reliable option I have for now.

Thanks,
