Does Java 6 include a program that can run javax.script (Rhino JS) files?

Question

I found that Java 6 includes Rhino JS (except for one or two minor pieces), as javax.script. Pretty cool!

Does a Java 6 install (JRE or JDK, either) contain a binary that I can simply point to a .js file to run? (I think it would be great to be able to provide source code for others to read and run, without compilation, and require only that Java be installed.) Or do I have to build the little 8-line program in the docs?

Answer 1

Yes, There's jrunscript

Answer 2

On my machine, I have a console application called js and I have all my js files begin with:

#/usr/bin/js

and set the script to executable. This is how I run mine.

Answer 3

There's a binary included in the JDK called jrunscript:

wookie@hoth:/usr/local/java/bin$ ./jrunscript 
js> println("This is hello from test.js");
This is hello from test.js
