    Within ReadyAPI, you can go to Preferences > ReadyAPI, and there is a "Custom Java libraries" section where you can point to JARs and folders, I think this may be what you're looking for. But just to clarify, you want to access classes from the readyapi-maven-plugin JAR in your Groovy scripts?

Thank you so much. I updated that setting. The tool is able to find my class, but cannot initialize it.

 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks for the tip on how to specify the location of the jar file JustinM89

Hm, unfortunately I won't be of much help here as I don't know too much about class loading, but I think the issue is with the JAR itself -- what specific class are you trying to use?
