Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-974:
--------------------------------------
I thought about it. At first glance it doesn't seem necessary, but it could be
that users will be running on Java 8 even if we build only with Java 6. So, it
does probably make sense.
I can do the merge later today.
Thanks.

> A small script such as this in a BXML file now will not work in Java 8:
> <bxml:script>
> importClass(org.apache.pivot.wtk.Button);
> function isSelected(state) {
> return state == Button.State.SELECTED;
> }
> </bxml:script>
> The reason is that the "importClass" function is not present in the base
> Nashorn engine, but is provided by a compatibility library:
> "mozilla_compat.js".
