jjs(1) Basic Tools jjs(1)NAMEjjs - Invokes the Nashorn engine.
SYNOPSISjjs [options] [script-files] [-- arguments]
options
One or more options of the jjs command, separated by spaces. For
more information, see Options.
script-files
One or more script files which you want to interpret using Nashorn,
separated by spaces. If no files are specified, an interactive
shell is started.
arguments
All values after the double hyphen marker (--) are passed through
to the script or the interactive shell as arguments. These values
can be accessed by using the arguments property (see Example 3).
DESCRIPTION
The jjs command-line tool is used to invoke the Nashorn engine. You can
use it to interpret one or several script files, or to run an
interactive shell.
OPTIONS
The options of the jjs command control the conditions under which
scripts are interpreted by Nashorn.
-cp path
-classpath path
Specifies the path to the supporting class files To set multiple
paths, the option can be repeated, or you can separate each path
with a colon (:).
-Dname=value
Sets a system property to be passed to the script by assigning a
value to a property name. The following example shows how to invoke
Nashorn in interactive mode and assign myValue to the property
named myKey:
>> jjs -DmyKey=myValue
jjs> java.lang.System.getProperty("myKey")
myValue
jjs>
This option can be repeated to set multiple properties.
-doe
--dump-on-error
Provides a full stack trace when an error occurs. By default, only
a brief error message is printed.
-fv
--fullversion
Prints the full Nashorn version string.
-fx
Launches the script as a JavaFX application.
-h
-help
Prints the list of options and their descriptions.
--language=[es5]
Specifies the ECMAScript language version. The default version is
ES5.
-ot
--optimistic-types=[true|false]
Enables or disables optimistic type assumptions with deoptimizing
recompilation. Running with optimistic types will yield higher
final speed, but may increase warmup time.
-scripting
Enables shell scripting features.
-strict
Enables strict mode, which enforces stronger adherence to the
standard (ECMAScript Edition 5.1), making it easier to detect
common coding errors.
-t=zone
-timezone=zone
Sets the specified time zone for script execution. It overrides the
time zone set in the OS and used by the Date object.
-v
-version
Prints the Nashorn version string.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Running a Script with Nashorn

Example 2 Running Nashorn in Interactive Mode
>> jjs
jjs> println("Hello, World!")
Hello, World!
jjs> quit()
>>
Example 3 Passing Arguments to Nashorn
>> jjs-- a b c
jjs> arguments.join(", ")
a, b, c
jjs>
