Reusable Script Runner code

Question

I am creating a few Script Runner built in scripts, rest end point scripts and custom fields scripts.  These scripts have code that can be reused, I am looking for the best way to share this code between the scripts.  Currently I am creating the code in Java and uploading the JAR file to the JIRA class path.  This works but requires a JIRA restart each time the reusable code is updated and re-upload of the JAR file.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi Erik,

Have you looked at creating a ScriptRunner script plugin as described here in order to see if this will meet your requirements.
