| JDK7 (currently in beta and due for general release this summer) contains new features for [http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/ dynamically typed languages] on top of the Java VM. Among the features devised by the [http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=292 JSR 292] working group is a new invokedynamic bytecode instruction and libraries for linking method invocations at runtime. Invokedynamic has been integrated in other JVM language implementations such as JRuby and should provide performance improvements for Rhino. The goal of this project would be to make Rhino generate bytecode that uses JSR 292 InvokeDynamic and compare its performance characteristics with the current code.
