Jython classpath question

[Tennessee James Leeuwenburg]

Hi all,

Sorry for the newb question, but Googling and FAQing didn't work. Is it
correct that Jython can only access Java classes which are inside JAR
archives in the JYTHON_HOME directory? IT doesn't seem to be documented. I
ask because I want to do groovy prototyping using Jython, and save myself
a lot of coding overhead to try something a little out-of-the-box.

I have a working directory where all my code lives, and because my app is
under rapid development, I would prefer to avoid creating a JAR file every
time I want to do some Python scripting?

What do people suggest I do?

Thanks,
-Tennessee
