Using my own library in Interpreted Java scripts

I wanted to have libraries of my own routines, the only thing I could find of relevance on your site was this above forum thread which basically said 'we don't know'.
If it's of any use I've sussed it. At the top of each script needing the library you need this:

import bsh.Interpreter;
source("C:\\Documents and Settings\\me\\Desktop\\LIBS\\lib.txt");

where the import statement is necessary for the source() bit that follows, and the source() statement itself must specify a path to a text file which it effectively includes.

Here are the first few lines of my lib.txt:

------------
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;

openReadableFile(String fname)
{
File inputFile = new File(fname);
FileReader in = new FileReader( inputFile );
BufferedReader buffRead = new BufferedReader( in );
return buffRead;
}

// .. and more
-----------

It works, finally!
Obviously this is for beanshell only (although I've used a similar trick with javascript using eval).

HTH and saves other people some hours (newbie to beanshell BTW)

cheers
