ES6 from Java, using Nashorn

Hi experts,
I want to run ES6 scripts from Java, using Nashorn.
I have scripts involving 'let', 'const', my Java code is happy with it,
I just need to use a property "nashorn.args" set to "--language=es6".
Now, I'd like to move forward, use imports and modules.
I have one script like this (modules.01.js):
function displayMessage() {
console.log("Hello JS World!");
};
export default displayMessage;
I want to consume it from this (modules.consume.js):
import displayMessagefrom './modules.01';
displayMessage();
But this is where I have a question:
My engine.eval("load('./modules.consume.js');"); complains about the "import" statement.
In the transpiled version, it complains about the "require" statement.
I must be missing something... I attach my code, in case it's needed.
Any idea, pointer, comment, help, etc, most welcome,
Thank you!
- Olivier
