A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a nutshell Java 6 embedded rhino is not honoring java package names starting with anything other than com & org.

Let's say I have a java class file called org.test.OrgTest with a main method. I am able to successfully call it from java & jrunscript. Whereas, if I have a class called gov.test.GovTest or ch.test.ChTest , I cannot call it from jrunscript.

I also tried from ScriptManager class and it is the same behavior. I have created a demo project, which would help you understand better about this bug.
