264319 - Method uneval in org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime should be public.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, enhancement)

Description

[Teemu Tingander]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Rhino150R5_RELEASE

Since there is no way programmatically access uneval() function, the uneval 
function should be public as all other static functions in ScriptRuntime are. 
There seems to be no reason why this methdod is now defined as package 
visibility.



Reproducible: Always

1. ScriptRuntime is not a part of public Rhino API and if you use any function
there then do not expect any compatibility between releases! The class is public
purely for technical reason so the generated classes can access it.

2. If necessary a public function can be added to Context.

3. As a workarround for current Rhino use 
ScriptableObject.callMethod("uneval", scope, new Object[] { valueToUneval });
to access the function from java code.
