Sorry, but as long as I don't see any code and code I can't really 
judge about it. From what you said it seems to me its needs bad hacks 
like special treating of gnu.classpath package in the VM and/or 
native methods to circumvent security. Native methods are not allowed 
everywhere. So this is bad for classpath too.
