Indeed, I was thinking that too... could be nice to have that
information at runtime... the info could be retrieved by attempting to
load the $module.javafiles from the classpath...

Thinking about this in the Bioclipse context, these files might
actually not be available on the CP...

No, but a module that did get compiled, might not be there in
practice... cdk-core.jar + cdk-standard.jar, but not cdk-qsar.jar...

Yeah, possibly... not sure about the OSGi environment, as the CDK
class would be in cdk-core, so not necessarily have access to the CP
of cdk-standard, etc... I need to think about that...

It might actually be... reducing the size might indeed also benefit
e.g. the applet size... but not sure how large it really is...
