Phil - got it. It wouldn't be hard at all to write a script to monitor
a directory, and any jar you throw in there gets exploded to the
classpath dir like you use. That would make it pretty painless.

I hate to go completely off topic, but could you explain what advices
are in Lisp? When I was reading a post by Steve Yegge he wrote

"As far as I know, Lisp had it first, and it's called advice in Lisp.
Advice is a mini-framework that provides before, around, and after
hooks by which you can programmatically modify the behavior of some
action or function call in the system."

Searching turns up some pretty thin results, maybe the better one
being details on Emacs Lisp advices:

Does Clojure support something like this? I didn't come across it in
Stuart's book, website, etc. and AOP certainly helps manage complexity
in Java
