Hi Stoyan,
You can enable up-arrow command completion in Rhino using JLine:

java -classpath js.jar:jline.jar jline.ConsoleRunner org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main

Go get it at http://jline.sourceforge.net/. You’ll need to put it in your classpath; I throw rhino and jline into ~/Library/Java/Extensions/, which gets added to the CLASSPATH automatically for me.

Also, ctrl-D exits the Rhino shell too!

Hi Stoyan,
Got rhino running on my mac.
if the parent directories don’t exist., update the link to rhino zip: the latest version is 7R2 now. Also, you might want to use the “-p” option in mkdir :

mkdir -p ~/Library/Java/Extensions
Thanks for the helpful post.

No, do not put any Jars in the default locations and pollute the system namespace. Always, always, always, set the class path from the command line — java -cp rhino.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main

Hi Stoyan,

thank you for the post. I did not know that I can put the Java extension to ~/Library/Java/Extensions – cool: got Rhino up and running.

You can create JavaScript files that will run with out naming the interpreter first.
Just make the script executable and make the first line:

#!/usr/bin/env java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main

So read.js would contain:

#!/usr/bin/env java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main
print(readUrl(‘http://phpied.com‘))

Then you can run it by just typing read.js:

$ ./read.js

Hi Stoyan!

Thank you for the clear outline of Rhino install steps. BTW:

$ mkdir ~/Library/Java
$ mkdir ~/Library/Java/Extensions

can be compressed to:
$ mkdir -p ~/Library/Java/Extensions

Thanks for this article. Worked fine for me. Also worth pointing out is that you can alias the word “rhino” to the java command. Add this line to your ~/.profile:

alias rhino=”java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main”

Now you have a simpler command to use:

# rhino << hi
js>
