Rhino was released to Mozilla Foundation in April 1998.

how is released to Mozilla, while Mozilla is founded 2003? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.216.253.212|91.216.253.212]] ([[User talk:91.216.253.212|talk]]) 15:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I believe that Rhino 1.6 implements JavaScript 1.6, but the Rhino doc I saw was not 100% consistent... Any clarification welcome, would be useful to mention language version implemented.

yeah iam currently working in that. i dont see mozilla documents are not really helpful in guiding devolpers. i need to know how to specify the src script attribute here in Rhino. does anyone know? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rammyramkumar|Rammyramkumar]] ([[User talk:Rammyramkumar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rammyramkumar|contribs]]) 09:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

The second example is buggy: At EOF, S.readLine() will return null, so S.readLine().toUpperCase() throws an exception. better:

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="javascript">

// The same as: import java.io.*;

importPackage(java.io);

Line 24 ⟶ 31:

if (s) System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());

}

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>

-- Shouldn't this be sufficient (and more readable):

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="javascript">

// The same as: import java.io.*;

importPackage(java.io);

Line 39 ⟶ 46:

System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());

}

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>

== Okay to list software that uses Rhino ==

Can we add a list of software solutions that use the Rhino JavaScript Engine? <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/198.217.64.22|198.217.64.22]] ([[User talk:198.217.64.22|talk]]) 22:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles ==

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

=== Collaboration...===

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript]] and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

=== Where to list JavaScript articles ===

We've found over 300 [[Index of JavaScript-related articles|JavaScript-related articles]] so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

=== User scripts ===

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject JavaScript|let us know]]!

If you have need for a user script that does not

yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

=== How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention ===

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript#JavaScript-related articles that need attention|list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention]].

=== Rating JavaScript articles ===

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. [[User talk:The Transhumanist|<i>The&nbsp;Transhumanist</i>]] 01:13, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

== Ambiguous ==

"Rhino is a JavaScript engine written fully in Java and managed by the Mozilla Foundation as open source software. It is separate from the SpiderMonkey engine, which is also developed by Mozilla, but written in C++ and used in Mozilla Firefox."

Does this mean a) that the SpiderMonkey engine is written in C++ and used in Mozilla Firefox, or b) that Rhino is written in C++ and used in Mozilla Firefox? Please clarify. [[Special:Contributions/92.3.58.82|92.3.58.82]] ([[User talk:92.3.58.82|talk]]) 15:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
