How can I acces a method in a custom class from a scripted field?

Question

Jira version: 6.4.9

I have written a custom class in order to add some functionality and stored it to .../webapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/custom/Last24Hours.class. I am calling a method of the class from a scripted field and have tried the same from the script console. Here's the code:

package com.custom

def todaysDate = new Date()
def Created = issue.getCreated()
def Updated = issue.getUpdated()
def retVal = new String()
def last24Hours = new Last24Hours()

retVal = last24Hours.getChanges(todaysDate,Created,Updated)

return retVal

I get the following error message:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script849.groovy: 7: unable to resolve class Last24Hours @ line 7, column 19. def last24Hours = new Last24Hours()

^ 1 error

I can access a .groovy script in the same location from a scripted field. What is wrong?

It's in the same package. I've tried it, though, but this didn't work either:

package com.custom

import com.custom.Last24Hours

def todaysDate = new Date()
def Created = issue.getCreated()
def Updated = issue.getUpdated()
def retVal = new String()
def last24Hours = new Last24Hours()

retVal = last24Hours.getChanges(todaysDate,Created,Updated)

return retVal

This was executed from the script console. I got the following error message:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script853.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class com.custom.Last24Hours @ line 1, column 1. import com.custom.Last24Hours ^

1 error

Not sure, but don't you have to import Last24Hours somewhere?
