Rhino is very much used, but documentation is sparse as well as activity because, 1) We reference java for everything so little need to make or ask questions related to libraries in rhino. 2) Rhino is javascript and there is already a huge community out there, sadly their are mostly browser based. 3) Javascript is such a small language set, and if there was something we wanted todo that wasn't in rhino we just add it. Thank to how they set that up it isn't too difficult.
As long as javascript is actively used then I don't see this project going anywhere. There has been demand for javascript on the server side and rhino is being picked up in any state to be used. Java itself uses a modified rhino in the newest JRE and javascript on the server side is being a huge demand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_JavaScript <-- rhino is in 1/2 of those projects. Like I said javascript is a small language, but everything you'd want todo is already built into the libraries because its running in the jvm.
