Description

This patch adds capability to call java function directly from actions in screen widgets. The call looks like
<java location="org.ofbiz.MyActions" invoke="someFunction"/>

The called function is declared as follows
public static void someFunction(Map context) {
...
}

The benefits of having java functions are
1. Better code writing support from IDE
2. Breakpoint capability
