    You can stop tests from compiling and running with -Dmaven.test.skipt=true.
    And maven in F-12 is 2.0.8 so you may have a better luck with Fedora 12.

    Yes, -Dmaven.test.skipt=true would keep the tests from compiling/running.  But I think that the underlying problem is not fixed.  It appears that rhino is crippled in some way in openjdk6 and if we could use a custom rhino jar then we could substitute it for the crippled system jar.  And then the tests would probably pass.  This is what I would like help in achieving.

And in doing some more searching it appears that this deficiency in rhino was due to some license issue that openjdk6 did not like so some code was removed.  If I understand correctly that license problem has been addressed (at least from rhino perspective).  So what would be good is if there could be an update to all openjdk6 that would incorporate the complete rhino code so javascript would fully work.
