Description
The ant externals command downloads required test scripts from various sources. Some URLs have recently changed, leading to download failures in fresh Nashorn repository clones.

Labelled as noreg-build because this affects the build/test infrastructure.
Comments
The Showdown project (Markdown for JavaScript) has recently upgraded to 1.0.0, which caused the dependency to break. Accessing the files from the 0.5.4 version works. The fix is also going to make the Markdown test part of the standard "ant test" target.
