I have a flu right now, but I'll try to take a look tonight or tomorrow.

I saw repeated update also, but as you saw the classloader handles it
correctly. Should we keep track of the URL's and only call loader.add(URL)
if the path is new?

a work around for #2 is to move the code for calling NewDriver to
testStarted(). I tried that originally, but moved it to the set method.
Since the setTestPlanClasspath isn't called in non-gui mode.
