Hi Team,

V8 engine seems the most prominent JavaScript engine nowadays, which can be further developed and supported. We have to revise our past decision to rely on the Mozilla Rhino and Nashorn - both JVM based engines.
The major question here is whether to embed V8 engine via the J2V8 bridge https://github.com/eclipsesource/J2V8 or to use directly Node.js

The aspect to be considered:

Maturity and Support
Single vs. Multi Threading
Java components integrations
Debugging support
Programming model - sync vs async
Updates/Upgrades

Regards,
Nedelcho

Based on the research and PoC by Dimitar https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=481644 it seems J2V8 is not a viable option for our use-cases.
In case we want to use V8 we have to go directly to Node.js

Another approach would be to accept the limitations and to go only for facades in Java with static methods with primitive arguments.
Shall this be enough?
Should we still keep Rhino/Nashorn?
