I have a java file that creates a custom scoring in:

```
"similarity.default.type": "com.engine.scoring.elasticsearch.TweakedSimilarity"

```

and there are other files also that define filters and analyzers which are similar kind of package structure.

Almost all of those files have a lot dependencies like `lucene`, `elasticsearch`, `java.io` etc.

Even if I place the java file in the `config/scripts` directory I always get error that the file wasn't found.

I am not sure whether or not should I class files or java files? Both are not running.
