Java 11+ javascript engine compatibility

[rouazana]

Java 11 deprecated Nashorn, after the removal of Rhino. As there will be no more Javascript Engine in the JDK, we should migrate to an external one, for example GraalVM Javascript.
It will also allow us to support new JS capabilities from the ECMAScript 2019 norm.

let's try graalVM https://www.graalvm.org/ ... working on.

Hello!

Thanks for looking at this.

For your information Nashorn is finally also available as an OpenJDK project : https://github.com/openjdk/nashorn

3 things:

• Test with recent java versions (11, 17, ...) that default js code is well interpreted
• Test graalvm.js with recent java versions (11, 17, ...) and if possible add some unit tests in LSC
• Add in documentation for 2.2 that graalvm.js can be used

@abpai94 could you try to create a unit test for graalvm?
