Yeah. However, Mauve already uses Class.forName and Class.newInstance, so it is already relying on some reflection capability. Also, when Mauve was started, gcj limitations drove some of the design decisions. In particular we set things up carefully to avoid functionality we knew would not work with gcj. Since then things have changed; all the free VMs are much more capable. Tom
