------------------------------------

             Summary: Use of "importClass" or "importPackage" function in 
Javascript within BXML files won't work under Java 8 Nashorn script engine
                 Key: PIVOT-974
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-974
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core-serialization
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.1


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".
