Don't know for sure, I think the ClassLoader and all classes loaded with it will be GC'ed if there are no more references to the old classes and the loader itself. Is there even a way to "close" a classloader? What do you mean by "can not longer reload that namespace"? To inspect objects of a running jvm, you can either use a debugger, or patch the clojure.lang.DynamicClassLoader code so that it puts reference into a static Var on each ctor call or such. The java debug interface alsow allows you to get a list of all classes/ objects currently available in the running vm, see http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/jpda/jdi/index.html BTW, are you aware that clojure haa aa "add-classpath" (marked as deprecated) function, wich will be removed in future versions, due to the problems it introduced wich java-dependencies? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
