Java8 javascript engine nashorn not found with BundleClassLoader [message #1513544]

Hi,

We use a JavaScript engine from within out application. With Java7 we could
just call
new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("JavaScript")
to retrieve it.

Now with Java8 this does not work anymore. The ScriptEngineManager
constructor internally uses the context classloader to search all the
registered engines. In my case this was the bundle Classloader of the bundle
executing the code with the result that the engine is not found. I then
changed the code the following way
new ScriptEngineManager(null).getEngineByName("nashorn")
and everything was working fine anymore. In this case the system classloader
was used.

Can anybody explain me, why
new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn")
is not working in case the context classloader is set to a bundle
classloader? Is the nashorn.jar located under jre/lib/ext not visible for
the OSGi bundle classloader and if yes, is there another way then calling
new ScriptEngineManager(null) to make it visible?

thanks

I have found a solution for the problem. The nashorn.jar is in only visible
for the extension classloader because its under lib/ext. Setting
osgi.parentClassloader=ext solves the problem.
