LOL
I bet I know why:>

These are comments from my 9 yrs old ClassLoader.loadClass():

// 1.4.2_05 does not accept / as separator!
// < 1.4.2_04 requires / as a separator!

That was an unpleasant surprise; classes cannot be named as a.b.class, 
but have to be a/b/class.

Made me remember that particular subsubversion quite well:>

Worry not, the code will run on newer java versions.

... err, provided it's not a swing app. There's good chance for various 
troubles with GUI apps on java 1.6 and newer.
Troubles, like cannot close window by clicking on X.
