./gradlew test

./gradlew testBenchmark

Releasing and publishing new version

1. Ensure all tests are passing
2. Remove -SNAPSHOT from version in gradle.properties in project root folder
3. Create file gradle.properties in $HOME/.gradle folder with following properties. Populate them with maven repo credentials and repo location.

mavenUser=
mavenPassword=
mavenSnapshotRepo=
mavenReleaseRepo=

4. Run Gradle task to publish artifacts to Maven Central.

./gradlew publish

5. Increase version and add -SNAPSHOT to it in gradle.properties in project root folder.
6. Push gradle.properties to GitHub

Rhino can run as a stand-alone interpreter from the command line:

java -jar buildGradle/libs/rhino-1.7.8.jar
Rhino 1.7.8 2017 08 24
js> print('Hello, World!');
