------- Additional Comments From tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-07-13 17:17 ------- According to mjw there is already code in classpath's ClassLoader to do gnu.* checking (whether it is exactly what we want is not clear -- aph suggested we rename packages to make it very clear which parts are private and which are not).
The idea is, classes loaded by the bootstrap loader have total access. Other access attempts are checked for validity by the application loader. I'm not sure what happens with class loaders that bypass the application loader when delegating. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21892
