Summary: Class.forName doesn't work in Interactions Pane

Initial Comment:
After having compiled user classes, then Class.forName("MyClass") does not work and throws the following exception in the Interactions Pane:

> Class.forName("packageA.Test1")
ClassNotFoundException: packageA.Test1
  at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
  at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
  at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
  at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:268)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
  at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
  at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
  at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

  at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)

However, if I specify the class directly, then it does work for user classes:

> packageA.Test1.class
class packageA.Test1

It also works for built-in Java API classes:

> Class.forName("java.lang.Integer")
class java.lang.Integer
> java.lang.Integer.class
class java.lang.Integer
