That's because you use Class.forName(). For obvious reasons that doesn't
work for non-system classes. You must call:

<plugin instance>.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("...");

The BeanShell plugin has the code to support the error list, but it doesn't
actually add errors yet (because BeanShell's error reporting is rather
flimsy).
