Hi Michael,
Not sure if this helps, but in opensuse (latest version) running:

> eval("js","javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.UIManager.getSys
> temLookAndFeelClassName());");

returns in the Log window:

ReferenceError: "js" is not defined in nashorn:mozilla_compat.js at line
number 69

and the console shows:

Warning: Nashorn engine is planned to be removed from a future JDK release

Cheers

Gabriel
