Are you sure? I do this in Java 2 by first loading the classes using a separate
class loader. When I want to reload them, I let go of the class loader (set the
reference to null), create a new class loader, then use it to reload my class.
It works fine for me. I tend to use URLClassLoader to load classes.

happy new year,
