new java.io.File("/home/johnDoe/todoList.txt").exists();

or Eclipse …

var eclipseWorkspace = org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();

Modules Explorer

On the righthand side the Modules Explorer view shows existing script libraries. To load one, simply DnD it to the Script Shell. Afterwards you may use all commands listed for the loaded module.
