I wondered about the spelling. That's AndroMDA, I take it. (Not the 6 other
hits containing the "properly" spelled "Andromeda"..)

Much preferable, IMO. It has two major benefits:

* It keeps BeanShell's design clean as a scripting engine, instead of
morphing it into a half-done template generation / scripting engine.

* It preserves *your* freedom to host such a preprocessor on top of any
other scripting component (Perl, DynamicJava, ...), should the need or
desire arise.

Yes, completely painless. You can access a class in the normal way using its
fully package-qualified path, or using an import statement (anywhere where
you could put a declaration) and then using the unqualified class name.
