#1 importCommands

[Juha Lindström]

In BeanShell you can use importCommands to specify
directories or packages where the language runtime
searches for "commands". A command is basically a
function that does something useful. In BeanShell a
command can be implemented in BeanShell or Java.
Similar functionality would be useful in bex.

In my opinion this functionality is provided by the include
function in the standard library. It allows one to include
definitions from a script file (in file system or
classpath). What exactly is the missing functionality that
importCommands should implement?

We've built a library of commands that gets added to the
classpath by a calling script. Users import those commands
by saying:

importCommands("gov.maricopa.mcao.beanshell.utils");

for example. It's one command per file. We encourage
people to make lots of utilities and share them.
