* Return true iff the Java class with the given name should be exposed
* to scripts.
* <p>
* An embedding may filter which Java classes are exposed through
* LiveConnect to JavaScript scripts.
* <p>
* Due to the fact that there is no package reflection in Java,
* this method will also be called with package names. There
* is no way for Rhino to tell if "Packages.a.b" is a package name
* or a class that doesn't exist. What Rhino does is attempt
* to load each segment of "Packages.a.b.c": It first attempts to
* load class "a", then attempts to load class "a.b", then
* finally attempts to load class "a.b.c". On a Rhino installation
* without any ClassShutter set, and without any of the
* above classes, the expression "Packages.a.b.c" will result in
* a [JavaPackage a.b.c] and not an error.
* <p>
* With ClassShutter supplied, Rhino will first call
* visibleToScripts before attempting to look up the class name. If
* visibleToScripts returns false, the class name lookup is not
* performed and subsequent Rhino execution assumes the class is
* not present. So for "java.lang.System.out.println" the lookup
* of "java.lang.System" is skipped and thus Rhino assumes that
* "java.lang.System" doesn't exist. So then for "java.lang.System.out",
* Rhino attempts to load the class "java.lang.System.out" because
* it assumes that "java.lang.System" is a package name.
* <p>
* @param fullClassName the full name of the class (including the package
* name, with '.' as a delimiter). For example the
* standard string class is "java.lang.String"
* @return whether or not to reveal this class to scripts
