Standalone Nashorn bound to specific JVM flavors?

[Attila Szegedi]

It has exactly one dependency on sun.misc.Unsafe - a call to defineAnonymousClass. I’m not aware if that’s available on other JVMs or not, but that might be the only issue I’m aware of. FWIW, Nashorn can be used with --anonymous-classes=false to turn this feature off (it’s a bit of an optimization.) 

As it is, I meant to publish the initial version with javac compiling for Java 15, as I presumed nobody would be interested in using it on earlier Java versions as 14 comes with Nashorn included. I have not released it _just yet_ to Maven central (there’s some permission snags on Sonatype OSS). I’m wondering if there’d be value in compiling with a lower target class version?
