[PATCH] Pre-submit for serialization

[Guilhem Lavaux]

Hi,

I think I will have to begin the split of the serialization patch at a 
time or another. I'm beginning with this really simple patch for 
TypeSignature.
It is needed so class can resolved by name using a specific class loader 
and not using a default class loader as it was the case with the 
previous API.

This change was originally submitted/suggested by Helmer Kraemer to fix 
something in the modified serializer.

Cheers,
Guilhem.

2003-11-26  Guilhem Lavaux <address@hidden>, Helmer Kraemer <address@hidden>

        * gnu/java/lang/reflect/TypeSignature.java
	(getClassForEncoding) Splitted the method so we can specify an 
	explicit boot loader.
