Second thought - Fedora 21 makes OpenJDK 1.8 default which should have nashorn as a
replacement for rhino and we can get rid of rhino from the openjdk deps.
Mikolaj has been testing JDK 8 these past few weeks and the results
don't seem encouraging for us. There are *a ton* of compilation
failures, mostly in javadocs.
I am not saying this is not doable, but it will involve *a lot* of
work in any case. One blasphemous suggestion was to just get rid of
javadoc generation :-)
