Rhino Tools consist of:
- Debugger: Visual, Swing-based Debugger for Rhino
- Shell: Interactive JavaScript REPL
- JavaScript Compiler: Command-line Utility to compile JavaScript to Java Class files
Some automated source-scanning tools mark these capabilties as insecure, hence the reason of providing the rhino-runtime-X.X.X.jar that excludes the tools
-
Rhino 1.6R1 through 1.6R6 implements E4X using the XMLBeans library.
If you would like to use E4X you need to add
xbean.jarfrom XMLBeans distribution to your class path.Rhino 1.6R6 and later the E4X support has been rewritten to rely solely on the DOM3 APIs supported natively by Java 1.5.
Pre-Java 1.5 users can use DOM3 using Java’s endorsed standards override mechanism if they have a DOM3-capable XML parser.
If neither XMLBeans nor DOM3 are present, E4X is not available. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6 ↩7
