mike and I were chatting yesterday and the testplangui seems like the best 
place to put the feature. this way, users can browse and select the desired 
jar file. 

I was thinking about how setting/resetting the classpath should work. I'll 
need to do some basic research and see if I should create a new instance of 
the classloader for the jars. since URLClassLoader doesn't have a removeURL 
method.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLClassLoader.html

I could take the servlet container approach, which would mean.

1. create a new classloader to load the jar files
2. if the user resets the classpaths, kill the Classloader instance and 
create a new one
