Mustang Beta ClassLoading

If you've been wondering what the classloading changes are in Mustang (Java SE 6), we'd like to tell you what you will get in Mustang beta. We've implemented the bugfix we promised for a Class Circularity Error which was being thrown erroneously. This was bug number 4699981 and had many Java Developer Community votes. In addition to fixing this problem for its own sake, we needed to fix this problem in order to be able to address the more interesting classloader architectural issues. Now that we have this fix completed, we will be focusing on future classloading design issues. So this is a very good time to let us know what classloading improvements you would like to see in future Java SE versions. We really want to hear from you.
