--- Comment #3 from Jan Eglinger <jan.eglinger at gmail.com> ---
While this might be intentional for ImageJ 1.x, I suggest that it be changed
for Fiji/ImageJ2:

  - A local-only Javascript.jar will never be seen and updated by the
imagej-updater
  - There's a fully functional Javascript engine provided by scijava scripting.
Introducing a second Javascript engine potentially leads to inconsistent
behaviour when running the same script from within the script editor, or from a
macro via `eval("script", "...")`.

  - Input harvesting doesn't work with the supplied Javascript.jar. Running the
following code fails:

    eval("script", "// @String name\n"
     + "// @OUTPUT String greeting\n"
     + "greeting = \"Hello, \" + name + \"!\";\n"
     + "");

showing the error:
    ReferenceError: "name" is not defined. (line#3)


Re-opening this as "enhancement" then :)
