It seems to be impossible to call the delete() methods on java.io.File objects. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a File object [ var photo = new java.io.File('/my/photo.jp'); ] 2. Try to delete it [ photo.delete(); ] 3. Compile & Run the script ! Actual Results: An Exception is thrown : SyntaxError: missing name after . operator (<myScript>; line 815) at org.mozilla.javascript.NativeGlobal.constructError(NativeGlobal.java:597) at org.mozilla.javascript.TokenStream.reportSyntaxError(TokenStream.java:1324) ... Expected Results: Compiled correctly and delete the file ?

As I suspected, this is directly linked to the "delete" Javascript keyword. I've found a workaround by using the array notation (I just use photo['delete']() instead of photo.delete() ) but this gives a less-readable script. So, is a fix possible or would it require too much work, compared to the use of array notation ? At least, this should be clearly indicated somewhere in the documentation.

Your diagnosis and workaround are correct. This behavior is mandated by the ECMA spec, so there's no fix possible.
