Well, there are a number of class names that are allowed by the
JVM that you can not type into the command line (does your shell
do full unicode?). I am not saying we should change the JVM so
that this name is not allowed, but I do think it would help to
put the extra check on the command line input. I also posted
a note about this on the jikes java compiler list over at IBM
and they are going to send a query over to the Sun about this
class named "java" issue. I will post the results when I get them.
