#221 Auto-load interactions history
It would be nice if there were somewhere in Preferences
to specify an Interactions history that would
automatically be loaded into the interactions pane upon
starting DrJava. This would add to the convenience of
the interactions pane, allowing the user to have a
package statement or a few import statements (like
java.util.* or static import of java.lang.Math) already
interpreted when DrJava starts.

I would go as far as to say these statements should execute
every time the interactions window is reset, not just when
DrJava is loaded.
Many times I'm testing out a new class I've written by
bouncing a few statements off it in the interactions window
which may require some setup statements (creating Strings,
or Vectors to be passed to my class) that I have to execute
again and again in the interactions window after each
compile (though the tab complete helps with this task). It
would be nice if I could have a list of arbitrary statements
that fired every time the interactions window was reset. I
would suggest this feature have its own tab on the lower
pane though and not be buried in the options window for easy
modification.
