Title:
  Rhino support (com.sun.script.javascript.*) removed between OpenJDK 6
  and 7

Status in OpenJDK:
  New
Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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]) .

  Based on question [#192941][6]

  OS: Ubuntu 11.10
  OpenJDK version: 7~b147-2.0-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
