This problem was fixed by adding the following patterns to the <forceLinkClasses></forceLinkClasses> :

<pattern>org.mozilla.javascript.*</pattern>
    <pattern>org.mozilla.javascript.jdk15.*</pattern>
    <pattern>org.mozilla.javascript.jdk13.*</pattern>
    <pattern>org.mozilla.javascript.jdk11.*</pattern>

IIRC Rhino is relying on runtime bytecode generation, which RoboVM can't support. I'd be very surprised if this worked even with the forcelink classes. Let us know how it went for you.
