Rhino Downloads

Rhino is available for download both in source and compiled form.

### Binaries

You can download binary distributions of Rhino from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/ . These zip files includes precompiled `js.jar` with all Rhino classes, documentation, examples and sources.

Rhino 1.6R5 is the last qualified release. It includes support for ECMAScript for XML (E4X). To implement E4X runtime Rhino uses XMLBeans library and if you would like to use E4X you need to add `xbean.jar` from XMLBeans distribution to your class path.
