Is it possible to write my own Java classes and use them from within a script? For example, is there a directory in which I can put my JAR and then via "import" statement use those classes from within the script?
Yes, just be sure to get some of the nitty-gritty details correct, such as the class definitions (duh) and restarting SS after putting the JAR in there. If you're doing imports from within your custom classes, I'd also make sure that Java knows how to find those imports, wherever they are. I haven't played with many of my own custom classes before, so I'm not familiar with the subtle pitfalls involved in the process.

Is this supported in the "Pro" version of the product (that's what I own).
