As described here:

and discussed here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2012-December/012658.html
FullyConcurrent classloaders allow for parallel-defineClass to occur.
These are the VM changes to support that:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8005845/webrev/
Quite simply we allow access to the fullyConcurrent field in
java.lang.ClassLoader and if it is fullyConcurrent then we allow a
parallel-defineClass to occur.
In a JDK without the ClassLoader change this is all a no-op.
Thanks,
David
