it seems the AntClassLoader does not correctly resolve the package name for a
class not loaded via the bootclasspath.

the particular case i am running involes a JUnit test case which attempts to
strip off the package name by doing:

Class oink = moo.cow.Piggy.class;
String oinkClassName = oink.getName();
String oinkPackageName = oink.getPackage().getName(); 
String classNameNoPackage = oinkClassName.substring(oinkPackageName + 1);

oink.getPackage() will return null.

the workaround is to have junit fork the jvm.  the forked jvm will return an
appropriate package name.

the JVM i'm running is JDK 1.3.1 (build 1.3.1-b24) on solaris 2.8
