Deprecated Interfaces
org.mozilla.javascript.ContextListener Embeddings that wish to customize newly created `Context` instances should implement `ContextFactory.Listener`.

Deprecated Fields

Deprecated Constructors
org.mozilla.javascript.Context() this constructor is deprecated because it creates a dependency on a static singleton context factory. Use `ContextFactory.enter()` or `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)` instead. If you subclass this class, consider using `Context.Context(ContextFactory)` constructor instead in the subclasses' constructors.
