It would save a lot of native code writing Archie> for JVM implementors. I took a quick look at this. The various methods make different SecurityManager calls. So a straightforward implementation wouldn't be correct. I guess it could be done by doing something like what is done in ResourceBundle. That seems like a pretty wordy approach though. And it seems like it would be pretty inefficient (though perhaps it doesn't matter). We could also just define a single native API and then let Class do the security checks and most of the work. This may not actually reduce the size of the native code all that much.
