That's right but I encountered another problem: the security manager 
does not allow my class loader to load classes that reside in "java." 
package and this security policy can't be overridden for security 
reasons of course :), so I guess I still need to change the package name 
of the class.

Well I tried to do it when I was at work now, not at home :). Not that I 
am doing anything too dodgy though, all my application does is generate 
code for another project and since my app is implemented in Java5 and 
this other project has to keep compatibility with Java1.4, I need to 
have a separate set of classes as mentioned before.

Anyway, sorry I didn't mean to go off topic.I think I am looking at the 
wrong technology, may be I'll get better luck by looking at bytecode 
manipulation tools like BCEL instead.
