Well, if due to a bug all references to a certain class
came from System classloader, then there would not be
any ClassCastExceptions, but no isolation, either.

Anyway, I got the classloader working well enough for my needs
and I posted the final snippet somewhere in this thread. I used
URLs, because that's what getSystemResource() gives me. They
need not be remote (and in my case aren't remote).

>>> Also, make sure your loaders don't load the same packages.

I think I got confused about this advice, in that I thought
it was meant to point out a technical requirement, when it
really was just a hint (and a good one, btw).

I didn't really want to hardcode any particular way to access the 
class-files.  They may be in Jar file after deploy, but e.g. in
eclipse they're just plain files.
Even at the cost of having to grow the ByteArrayOutputStream.

Thanks for caring

PS: Right after I got a "safe-point" with a working custom classloader,
I started un-static'izing the relevant classes. I see myself at 80% 
done, but the remaining 80% will still be rather tough... ;-)
