I committed the attached patch to complete to ability of the VM to
bypass the class caching in ClassLoader.
This won't work if you make the VM_USE_CACHE field static final. Then
the constant will be compiled into ClassLoader making it impossible to
override for the runtime vm-classes later. It has to be a static method
for that to work.
I don't understand your comment.. this cache is for defined classes,
not loaded classes (despite what the comment says). Since class definition
is (by definition :-) something the VM itself must do, then if the VM
declares that it caches this list internally for all ClassLoaders, then
it has every right to make such a claim... ?
