I can write
<jx:set var="myList" value="${java.util.List()}"/>
which works fine in 2.1.8. Also you can use Packages to write something like
${Packages.com.myCompany.myPackage.myClass(myParameter1, myParameter2)}
This works because the JXTG adds "java" and "Packages" to the Jexl context,
which are variables of the class org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaPackage.
So it's not a Jexl problem.
