Your hunch on the classpath is correct, the one modification you need to make to the commandline is to add the argument -cp foo.jar (where foo.jar is the rhino jar):
java -cp [jar-file] [classname] [arguments] java -cp rhino.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main [options] script-filename-or-url [script-arguments] Alternatively, if the jar is built with the MainClass file specified in its manifest (which you can determine by simply trying the command), you can run it with: java -jar [jar-file] [arguments] java -jar rhino.jar [options] script-filename-or-url [script-arguments] Marcello On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 9:34 AM, mckyj57 <[email protected]> wrote: > In downloading and inspecting Rhino from mozilla.com, I see no > documentation regarding installation.
