The netscape JavaScript engine needs some of the java source to run. 

As you say though, it is possible to write a JavaScript engine without the JVM 
and/or Java source and includes, however the netscape one didn't choose to do 
that.

(being very careful on what he can and can't say and not writing for NCI at any 
point on this whole matter).
