See Design Pattern: Gate Keeper which shows a better way to handle that.

Even on Windows now it’s just an add-on. See [beta testers wanted!] Jython addon w/ helper libraries (requires OH 2.5.x). It’s not merged so you have to install it manually (i.e. drop 1 jar file into the addons folder) and that’s it. It’s pretty simple now to get started.
