since I have java 8 installed, I already have that capability! I tested some
javascript on a page using {{script language="javascript"}} and it works
perfectly.
The reason I wanted to do this, is I am using an entry validation library to
validate user input in the browser, but of course you would want to
re-validate on the server side, and why duplicate efforts in velocity, when
you already have the library in javascript?

Two possibilities:
* you have a javascript engine (Nashorn) provided with the JDK (at
least the Oracle one and OpenJDK) so no need to do anything in that
case
* Nashorn is not part of the JRE but it's compatible with it so you
can take the nashorn.jar from the JDK or build your own JRE version
(see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28054849/nashorn-script-engine-is-null-on-java-8-se-embedded).
Note that I never tested that, just found it when Googling a bit.
Then you use what you suggested in your mail.

Hello:
What would need to happen (install engine?) for me to be able to do the
following:
{{script language="javascript"}}
{{/sript}}
in other words, server side javascript
