Since it's a profiling tool, I guess it's not that surprising, but still disconcerting and confusing.

No one (other than sun) is allowed to ship classes whose prefix is java.* or javax.* They’re in violation of their java development license — y’know, that part that you never read when you download the JDK from Sun??

I didn't think you could create a java.lang object and load it from anywhere on the classpath. I thought java.lang objects could only be loaded from rt.jar? This would prevent someone else from creating a virus in java.lang.String. How does the code see the class?
