"JSON" error

[micmath]

This same issue has come up twice before and it's starting to make me worry about using Rhino now. In both the other cases the OS was Mac. Can you confirm what your OS is?

In fact this same problem bit me about a year ago when I first started working with the newest version of Rhino, and like you I was convinced I had no other Rhinos installed to interfere. But here's how you can prove that one way or another: open a terminal and cd to the jsdoc directory. Enter the following command:
$ java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main

If you 1) get an error because there is no Rhino found, or 2) if you see a message about like "Rhino 1.7 release 3 PRERELEASE 2010 03 24" then you are correct and no other Rhino is interfering.

However if you don't get an error, and you see a message about an earlier version of Rhino, then you do have another version of Rhino installed somewhere. If you are on a Mac I can tell you some places to look, but first try the test I described above.

If you find that another Rhino is being run, have a look in the ~/Library/Java/Extensions/ directory for something named js.jar. On a Mac that folder is special because any classes found there will always take precedence over any other that you are trying to import. You can either remove the offending Rhino or replace it with a copy of the newer one.
