How to Unload Class from VM

You have a package having 2 classes. These are standalone applications. Both the class represents frames. Parent and Child. You run the application. From the parent u display the child. Now when the appln is running, remove or change the child Class. The appln still runs. I want to unload the child class from the vm and reload it again with the fresh changes without restarting ti. I did come accross JVMPI with the jobjectID and class_unload. But these things lost me. Help me on this.

Don't load it using the system class loader. Always use a class loader. Although actually those are different classes - the class loaded by the class loader is not the same as the one loaded by another class loader, even if the bytecodes are exactly the same.
