You might find this topic helpful, particularly the public release of my FieldClassBuilder:

So, showing the whole thing is not on the table. Sorry. But one utility class I wrote will help you through the trickiest part of it: FieldClassBuilder.java (Note the MIT License.) This builder will assemble any desired classes from anywhere in your module, including any dynamically loaded classes you might access, into a generated class with a public static final field for each supplied class. The output from build() is suitable for use with ScriptManager.addScriptModule() in your various …

Note that this permits controlled exposure of classes in your module's classloader (normal jar) to any desired system.* namespaces without having to manually construct them when you change jar versions. I use this to accept many different versions of an externally-installed OpenCV jar (due to licensing, it cannot be packaged in a module) but still expose (nearly) all of its member classes.
