Upgrade Rhino Javascript implementation to a current version to enable ES6

Any chance of an upgrade and turning on ES6? I see that Rhino is at 1.7.11, and it looks like 1.7.12 might be out soon.

 

I'm no expert obviously, but it looks to me a matter of a single call to "setLanguageVersion(int version)" when setting up the Context near https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/blob/a4deda878e411c0856eb9178f686eaf071e3818f/jasperreports/src/net/sf/jasperreports/compilers/JavaScriptCompiler.java#L71 might enable ES6 support.

FWIW, I checked, and 1.7.11 is still the latest.

Hi,

 

Initial tests seem to indicate that setLanguageVersion(int version) does not seem to have any visible effect. Simply upgrading Rhino in the classpath make ES6 constructs work, without any special setting.

Can you confirm? Or do you have a report expression that would not work just by upgrading to Rhino 1.7.11 in the classpath?

 

Thank you,

Teodor

 

I replied over on github.

Seems like ES6 expressions work in reports just by upgrading Rhino to 1.7.11, so we are not going to add the setLanguageVersion(int version) method for now. Unless someone proves it is really needed.Upgraded to Rhino 1.7.11 in master branch.Thanks,Teodor
