      The classpath setting for the system groovy build step does currently not support token macro expansion. What I would like to do is put a jar on the classpath which is in the workspace of a job or somewhere under JENKINS_HOME. This can't be done with the version 1.13. of the plugin.

          Here is an example of how this feature could be useful.

          First create a groovy script that imports a class, call this script "caller.groovy":

          import JenkinsSystemGroovy
def j = new JenkinsSystemGroovy(out)

          Next create the file that contains the class, call this file "JenkinsSystemGroovy.groovy":

          class JenkinsSystemGroovy {
  def JenkinsSystemGroovy(out) {
    out.println("Hello")
  }
}

          Get those two files in the workspace (for example, your workspace could contain a git clone of your work that includes those files).

          Next we want to run the caller.groovy script as a System Groovy Script in the Build phase, so we configure the build phase as such:

          Execute system Groovy script
[ ] Groovy command
[x] Groovy script file
caller.groovy
Variable bindings: (leave empty)
Classpath: $WORKSPACE

          This fails on the import. This bug report is about making this possible.
