8005976: Break out AccessSpecializer into one pass before CodeGenerator instead of iterative applications from CodeGenerator
Summary: Now scope and slot information is guaranteed to be fixed AND NOT CHANGE before CodeGeneration. We want to keep it that way to build future type specializations and bring all type work out of CodeGenerator.

aoqi@0 1 The Nashorn repo is in the process of being migrated to OpenJDK and as such is
aoqi@0 2 incomplete in several areas.
aoqi@0 3
aoqi@0 4 - The build system is not fully integrated. When complete, Nashorn will be
aoqi@0 5 installed in its proper location in the JRE.
aoqi@0 6
aoqi@0 7 - Once integrated, the correct version of the JDK will be wrapped around
aoqi@0 8 Nashorn. In the meantime, ensure you use JDK8 b68 or later.
aoqi@0 9
aoqi@0 10 - The jjs tool has not been implemented in binary form yet. Use "sh bin/jjs"
aoqi@0 11 (or bin/jjs.bat on windows) in the interm.
aoqi@0 12
aoqi@0 13 - The Dynalink component is not fully integrated into Nashorn as yet, but will
aoqi@0 14 be when details are finalized.
aoqi@0 15
aoqi@0 16 - And, finally Nashorn is still in development. To stay up to date, subscribe
aoqi@0 17 to nashorn-dev@openjdk.java.net at
