How can I load a custom jar file for my Jenkins Jobs DSL groovy scripts without the classpath field?

I've inherited a Jenkins instance. This Jenkins instance has an older version of the Jenkins Jobs DSL plugin. This version of the jobs plugin has a class path fields

enter image description here

By loading this jar file, my script (in the DSL Scripts) has additional symbols/classes it may import.

However, the latest versions of the Jenkins Jobs DSL have removed this class path field. The impression I get from the mailing list) is this was done for security reasons.

Without this option, is it possible to set a different class path (or include extra jar files in my Jenkins Jobs DSL groovy scripts without this field?

No, there isn't any direct option available. Following are the options available

Option 1: As Daniel has suggested (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/job-dsl-plugin/lYgX3boW0Pk) , you can use the Script Security Plugin to add custom classpath and include the jar(s). The only overhead with this approach is, even if there is a minor difference in the jar, an approval would be required.

Option 2(Least Preferred, Last Option): If you are running Jenkins under a company network and if your confident on security, then you can consider to uncheck the Enable Security for Job DSL from Jenkins-> Configure Global Secutiry enter image description here
