You can't just call class.forName()  like that. Depending on how the classloader
is implemented in the JVM, it may not work. If you want to get a ref to a
java.lang.Class for a specific named class, use the class field of the object.

% set c [java::field java.util.Hashtable class]
java0x2
% $c toString
class java.util.Hashtable
