Apparently. I never played with it, so the information I have is based on
my reading of the SL4A documentation. The FAQ here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/FAQ

makes these two points:

--------------------------------
Where's JavaScript?

JavaScript is implemented using the Mozilla Rhino project and V8. Look for
"Rhino" in the interpreter downloads. Or, write an HTML script to use V8.
--------------------------------
Will SL4A work on my Android device that's not built on ARM (e.g. x86)?

Yes and no. All cross compiled interpreters are compiled for ARM. Java
based interpreters like JRuby, BeanShell, and Rhino will work.
--------------------------------

My reading of the second one put the thought in my head that Rhino was in
fact a Java interpreter.
