unload a class

There is none.

If you want to reload a class then you need to do the following.

- The class must be loaded via a custom class loader.

- All instances of the class, the class itself and the class loader must be available for collection. (This generally is handled via a proxy interface.)

- Reloading the class then involves nothing more than creating a new class loader and reconnecting the instances (in a proxy.)
