Hehe, I've read about it lately - http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/

a similar thing.
This guys's trick only works if your code was loaded using a property
extended secure class loaders. The good news is that almost everyone
uses a subclass of URLClassLoader which propertly extends secure
class loader, but not every project does this. This stuff is quite
hard to get correct, and I'm pretty sure the way I do this could be
improved.
