Eclipse jython import modules/class/.jar
<p>I have been trying to use eclipse as a jython ide.  Currently I have been working with a program that has a script editor inside the program(uses jython), but the script must be run in its entirety each time, it is not 'interactive'.  There is a large api associated with it and I want to use eclipse to have an interactive console.  I cannot import the modules/jar/classes.</p>
<p>I have tried to append the folder containing the jar files to the sys path seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/279237/import-a-module-from-a-relative-path">here</a>, I have exploded the jar files and added those files (which have the class files in them) to the sys path seen <a href="http://bugs.jython.org/issue2355" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.  I have added the jar files and class files to the classpath and the user libraries under eclipse&gt;windows&gt;preferences&gt;java&gt;Build Path</p>
<p>Currently I can import without error, I can seemingly construct a class without error, but nothing happens.</p>
<p>An example of what my console looks like is</p>
<pre><code>from myFile import myClass

&gt;&gt;&gt;myObj = myClass.open(fileName)
&gt;&gt;&gt;myObj
&gt;&gt;&gt;type(myObj)
&gt;&gt;&gt;myObj.__class__
&gt;&gt;&gt;type('string')
&lt;type 'str'&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;'string'.__class__
&lt;type 'str'&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>when I try to create an instance of my class it doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't do anything either.  Yet other objects appear to work.</p>
<p>Any insight is appreciated</p>
