Build error with older bootjdk in nashorn

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

I experienced a problem building nashorn with a jdk that
contains an older version of nashorn:

Running nasgen
/bin/mkdir -p /sapmnt/home1/d045726/oJ/check8/jdk8/build/nashorn/classes

make: *** [nashorn-only] Error 2

This can be solved by setting the bootclasspath instead of the classpath in the call to nasgen:

The jdk I use for building is based on jdk8-b85.

I would appreciate if you fix this in nashorn.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
