Can I define my own class loader which loads classes from the file
system?  If I do, will I be subject to the security measures which are
in place for WWWClassLoader, which loads classes from the network?  Or
are the security measures dependent on that particular class loader
subclass?

Also, if my class loader periodically checks the file system for an
update to that class, and reloads that class, will the system actually
successfully start using the new definition of the class.  Something
tells me that it will actually continue to use the original
definition, because the class is actually stored internally in the
interpreter.
