Thanks. This is a know issue caused by the fact that (currently)
ikvmc'ed code doesn't have a class loader associated with it. It's on my
TODO list to fix this.

I really would like to see a statically compiled version of Eclipse, but
realistically I think this is going to be a major effort (you'd first
have to get to know the Eclipse's plug-in architecture and then modify
that to load .NET assemblies instead of using Java class loaders).
