I think the shared code checks the cache object is the same as the disk

It needs to check that the compiled code matches the java bytecode. I
don't know how it would do that - not more cheaply than compiling the
code, anyway. Complicated by the fact that there's no standard compiled
version of the code - Java will make different optimizations based on
observation of the running program. It does do some checks - date,
module signatures, version etc. but if you don't trust the source they
can all be modified.
