As Java .class files are not load modules, I would say no.  I think we can
assume that by "anything reentrant" Mark meant load modules (or program
objects), since that's what LPA and LNKLST contain.  Java byte code is just
data.

But you could, in theory, embed that data into a load module, and create a
special Java class loader that would know to look for its data in LPA
instead of looking for it in the UNIX file system, and would know how to
extract that data from the load module.  And then you could put Java byte
code into LPA.

Sounds like a fun project, but not one I have time for  :-)
