public class NashornCompatibilityStrategy
extends AbstractUpgradeStrategy

Strategy for injecting the standalone OpenJDK Nashorn engine as a plugin dependency when maven-antrun-plugin uses inline JavaScript via <script language="javascript">.

Maven 4 requires JDK 17+, but the built-in Nashorn JavaScript engine was removed in JDK 15. Plugins executing JavaScript in-process (particularly maven-antrun-plugin with <script language="javascript">) fail with:

[ERROR] Unable to create javax script engine for javascript

Toolchains cannot help because the script runs in Maven's own JVM, not in a forked process. The standalone OpenJDK Nashorn (org.openjdk.nashorn:nashorn-core) provides a drop-in replacement that registers via ServiceLoader and restores JavaScript support.

This strategy both injects the Nashorn dependency as a quick fix and warns that users should consider migrating to GraalVM JavaScript (org.graalvm.js:js-scriptengine) for long-term support.
