What about the "Package" class. Its 1.2 only, but it includes
the method getPackages(). Whilst this method is a little dubious in
the sense that it returns only the packages now to the Callee's
classloader (which might cause some problems for with the two
classloaders on 1.2). Once you have a list of all the package names
you should be able to do a class name lookup by iterating through all
the package + name combinations. Dont know how long this would take
though.
