Status of Anno Class loader with constant patches?

We are working on a port of Smalltalk to the MLVM.  For this we were 
thinking of using the
constant patch feature of the anonymous class loader in java.dyn.anon to 
create constant pool
entries with instances of our Smalltalk types.

Is this feature expected to continue? If so in which package will it be 
located in the JDK7
release?

If not then I assume that we have to hold these constants as static fields 
and create an initializer.
Any other suggestions?

thanks for all of the good work
