Hi Alejandro,

we already have a java shell integrated in JMathLib.

The function "java" in MathLib/Functions/System/Java.java
will do the job.

java('console.displayText("hello world");')
hello world
ans = null

To access a JMathLib variable enter
x=5
JAVA('global.getVariable("x");')
ans = 5

Kind regards,
   Stefan.
