Description

With the latest Apache Sling Scripting JavaScript 3.1.4+ release, attempts to build the code using Java 17 and Java 21 failed due to incompatible unit tests.

The release build observed in this CI job confirmed that this issue caused multiple build failures.

Modernizing the tests would greatly improve the build process, making it cleaner and more reliable.
