Since Java 11 the JavaScript implementation <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/335">Nashorn has been deprecated</a>.
Java will emit the following deprecation warnings, if you are using JavaScript based on Nashorn.
<source>
Warning: Nashorn engine is planned to be removed from a future JDK release
</source>
To silence these warnings, add <code>-Dnashorn.args=--no-deprecation-warning</code> to your Java arguments.
That can be achieved by setting the enviroment variable <code>JVM_ARGS</code>
<source>
export JVM_ARGS="-Dnashorn.args=--no-deprecation-warning"
</source>
</li>

With Java 15 the JavaScript implementation <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372">Nashorn has been removed</a>. To add back a JSR-223 compatible JavaScript engine you have two options:
<dl>
<dt>Use Mozilla Rhino</dt>
<dd>Copy <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/releases/download/Rhino1_7_14_Release/rhino-engine-1.7.14.jar">rhino-engine-1.7.14.jar</a> into <code>$JMETER_HOME/lib/ext</code>.</dd>
<dt>Use OpenJDK Nashorn</dt>
<dd>
The OpenJDK Nashorn implementation comes as a module. To use it, you will have to download it and add it to the module path. A hacky way to download the version 15.0 (or later) and its dependencies and set the module path is outlined below:

With Java 15 the JavaScript implementation <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/372">Nashorn has been removed</a>.
JMeter now ships with a JSR-223 compatible JavaScript engine by default (Mozilla Rhino 1.8.0),
so you do not need to download Rhino separately anymore.<br></br>
If you prefer to use Nashorn instead, you can still add it as a module. One way to download
version 15.7 (or later) and its dependencies and set the module path is outlined below:
