I am thinking about adding another constant which holds a list of regex, which if set, will limit what classes can be loaded by the reloading classloader. The reason for this, is that I would like to limit the reloaded classes to just my actions. If the reloading class loader loads something that is not an action, there is a good chance that instance of that class will be casted to the same class loaded by the original class loader, which fails with a class cast exception.
