Hi Craig,

Is class name supported?
That's an open question in my mind. How would you propose that the enhancer find the file corresponding to the class? 1. The class loader might not want to give you access to the file, especially for example if it was loaded from a jar. In that case, what you need is the path to the jar or the resource name of the jar. 2. As far as I know, there's no reverse translation of class loader + class name to file name.

It is just more user friendly to let the user specify a class name and let
the implementation convert the class name into resource name by adding
a ".class" suffix and replacing '.' with '/'.

This will fail if the class to be enhanced is in a jar file, right? Do we warn users about this problem?

I don't suggest other changes, so the class will be loaded as a resource
and "-d" will still be required in this case.
