a jdo-compliant implementation has to work with classes enhanced by the 
reference enhancer as well as classes enhanced by enhancers of other 
jdo-compliant implementations.

enhancement has to take place, before the classes are used. Normally this 
means, that you have to do it right after compilation, which can be done via 
an ant task easily. However, it would be possible, to write a special 
classloader, that does enhancement "on the fly" when loading the classes.
