Question ad creating a testcase that needs a jar on class- or module path

[Rony G. Flatscher]

Over the weekend I was finally able to finalize the test unit in form of a module. Kept it as simple
as possible (but it includes a pseudo script engine).

May I just ask a few questions, before proceeding with submitting one or two PRs:

  * Every new program needs the Oracle license header at the top?

  * Would it be o.k. to dual license (AL 2.0 for the pseudo scripting engine)?

      o If not (it probably would introduce noise and problems) it would not be a real problem as I
        always can create a separate package using only the code that was authored by myself.

  * Where shall I explain/document how the test unit works, here in the mailing list or with the PR?

      o If the latter, then it would probably be a good idea to submit the test unit separately from
        the PR for fixing the bug as that will have its own set of explanations/documentations
        (briefly discussing the three scenarious how a script controller may define scripts and why
        the filenames were picked the way they are).

  * Maybe the explanations/documentations for the bug fix should be posted here upfront for discussion?
