The change proposed in #3 isn't happening in Rhino after one year. And while it's a sensible change on its own from Rhino side, it's not a good fix for this bug, since it has a compatibility problem, in that applications that are using older Rhino.jar will break if IcedTea once removes its copy of rhino.jar (in favor of RhinoScriptEngine in rhino.jar in the user space.)

So I recommend the package renaming. While it's not a very smart solution, it results in the best overall user experience. I've been involved in XML technologies that are integrated into JDK, so I hope it helps add some credibility to what I'm saying.

As I explained in the bug http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6876736 , this issue is biting a number of projects, including my Hudson, and unfortunately I have to recommend people to switch to Sun JDK.

A timely resolution of this issue is much appreciated.
