Luis,

By calling setFunctions with a custom set of functions, you in fact
override the default behavior completely (which you should be able to
do).  To preserve the default behavior, do this:

  FunctionLibrary lib = new FunctionLibrary();
  lib.addFunctions(new ClassFunctions(MyFunctions.class, "myfunc"));
  lib.addFunctions(new PackageFunctions("", null));  // default
  jx_ctx.setFunctions(lib);


I hope this helps,

- Dmitri
