Crap, you're right.

I disagree ... one of the real painful things about gcj is that we can't
do dynamic loading unless we're willing to fall back onto interpretation,
which sucks (especially if we ever plan to do anything interesting like
RMI, EJB, etc.)
I have some ideas about how to make this really transparent. Just working
out whether it's even feasible to implement them at the moment.
