Workspace support for scripting

Hi Karel,

I am interested to know more about your ideas for this feature request.

For the first part (console to develop and execute generic Groovy/JavaScript scripts) - I know its not quite the same, but are you thinking something in the direction of the Groovy Console plugin:

https://github.com/olensmar/soapui-groovy-console-plugin (see the blog link for screen shots)

Is this anything like what you were thinking?

In terms of storing custom utility scripts, my approach has always been to use the extension classloader (/ext folder) and add my own jar files containing a Groovy API:

The API methods can then be called across the various locations thus providing some degree of reuse and centralisation - but I imagine you probably already knew about this feature?

I had a feeling from your feature request that you were thinking of something more interactive? I know the Pro version had a script library feature, whereby it checked at intervals for news scripts and loaded them onto the classpath, but this is only really a slicker version of the above approach.

Thanks,

Rupert
