In downloading and inspecting Rhino from mozilla.com, I see no documentation regarding installation. Going to the web site, I see no section on installation. There is no INSTALL or README file. The index.html in the javadoc/ directory has no mention of installation.
How is one to use this tool to do something as simple as syntax- checking a script segment in an editor. For instance, with vim and perl you can highlight a code segment and do: !perl -wc I simply want to be able to do that for Javascript to catch those stupid syntax errors you are bound to have from so many levels of bracket. (Yes, I know about syntax coloring and definitions. I want more.) P.S. At the risk of alienating people here, I will speak my two cents. This is not the first time I have had this problem with an application written in Java. To my mind this is one of the constant lacks in Java-based applications. There is rarely an installation nor a regular command line script available for simple use. What is the deal? Is there some sort of initiation that Java people want to wreak on the world? Are you not deemed worthy enough to use Java apps if you haven't gone through some rite of passage? I am not surprised at the lack of traction Java has, based on this unfriendliness. -- Mickey I don't want to get to the end of my life and find I have just lived the length of it.
