Removed swingEx and (temporarily) support for rhino. none

Description Andre 2011-11-17 17:10:32 UTC 
The swingExSrc archive in ext-sources (35c94d2df8893241173de1d16b6034c0-swingExSrc.zip) has (probably, status is somewhat unclear) an LGPL license and thus can not be used by AOO.

It is used by the rhino module to provide a java tree table widget.  Rhino again is used in the scripting framework for the javascript editor/debugger.

I see two ways to keep the javascript scripting support:

1. Replace swingExSrc with the similar package sources.zip that is available on http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable1/. It license seems to be friendlier but still needs a review by a lawyer.

2. Update rhino from 1.5R5 to the current version (at the time of this writing) 1.7R3.  Its interface, however, has changed considerably.  Changes in the scripting module are necessary.

As short-term solution I will remove the swingExSrc package and disable (but not remove) rhino and the javascript part of the scripting module.
