Description:

The rhino package - Java implementation of a Javascript engine - seems to be incomplete. To get a good working command line interface, the jline.jar Java package should also be present. I tried jline-0.9.94.jar together with js-1.7R2.jar (both borrowed from Debian Squeeze ;-) ). I also used the shell script '/usr/bin/rhino' from Squeeze to get a nice interactive command line testing environment, similar to the 'js' command of Mozillas SpiderMonkey Javascript engine.

Steps to reproduce:

java-jline package created, dependency added

added to JRE/JDK PKGBUILD. Should be effective after next JDK rebuild

Just for the record, this would mean adding the 3 bash scripts as in the debian package http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rhino/filelist (plus maybe the manpages).
We could also extract rhino.jar out on its own package "java-rhino".
We would also need to check about a possible jline dependency.
jre7-openjdk-headless dependency on it would then need to be updated

Will have a look at this when I have time.
