Public bug reported:

The packages specifying Rhino support, `com.sun.script.javascript.*`,
are missing from OpenJDK 7, though they were included in OpenJDK 6.
This causes the `getEngineByName("JavaScript")` call on a
`ScriptEngineManager` to return `null` (see my [StackOverflow question
for this issue][1]).

Specifically, this code should return `2` but throws a
`NullPointerException`:

            ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager();
            ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
            try {
                System.out.println(engine.eval("1+1"));
            } catch (ScriptException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

This might very well be the cause of [openjdk-7 bug #920214][2].
According to [Oracle bug #6876736][3], this is indeed a distro bug.

Note that when Rhino was included in OpenJDK 6, it caused package
conflicts ([openjdk-6 bug #255149][4], [Debian bug #512970][5]) .
