[RFC][plugin]: class in CWD can block applet from loading.

[Denis Lila]

Is this ok?

+
+	* netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/runtime/JNLPClassLoader.java
+	(loadClass): Look through our classes before trying
+	the system class loader.

In this version I catch and ignore SecurityExceptions after
calling findClass(name). This way, if we don't have permissions
to load a class from the codebase we look through the system
classloader, which is what we do now.

Regards,
Denis.
