Yeah, I was wrong about that. I thought you had to specify the class like
"Freenet.client.Client" but really you just do it like
"Freenet/client/Client", which is endlessly confusing. It would be more
intuitive if you simply used the full filename,
"Freenet/client/Client.class", or the class, "Freenet.client.Client", but
not a combination of the two.
