Description

Currently a Groovy script cannot call classes or methods from a TXM extension, and this raises a ClassNotFound exception.

The Groovy ScriptEngine is called with the class loader of the org.txm.rcpapplication plugin. But org.txm.rcpapplication cannot see extensions classes because it does not know about them and does not depend on them.

Solution

Provide our own class loader called TXMClassLoader to the Groovy ScriptEngine, built from the list of all the class loaders of 'active' bundles (plugins and extensions loaded into the platform) at the moment of the first macro call or when the TXMHome preference is changed. TXMClassLoader should auto-update when extensions are added or removed.
