The idea is fun, but since you cannot get at the ClassLoader of the Class it just doesn't work. (Except for classes loaded through the application/system and/or bootstrap classloader which isn't that interesting.) But you did fill in almost all of the logic that we were missing. Thanks! I just saw that Stephen Crawley posted a patch for a real VMAccessController entry point. Combining that with your fixes should give us everything needed. https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=2788 Cheers, Mark P.S. Sorry for not replying earlier. Some of this could have gone in for 0.08, but I don't want to change to much just before the release.
