The search for classes mechanism is not perfect

This mechanism needs to go elsewhere. It is really
useful for searching for JDBC drivers on your hard drive
but there are some problems with it for generic classes
which may not have been loaded by the exisiting class
loader already.
For example if you tell it to find a class of Type
abc.def.ClassName and a class of that type has never
been loaded and is not already on the classpath then
there is going to be a problem.
Perhaps there is a case for saying that this is not a
required function because this is not adevelopment
environment anyway and just leave it to search for JDBC
drivers.
We should maybe have a link off the JDBC create dialog.
