I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind ( as problems with reflection ).
getMethod (for example) doesn't work properly in java 1.3 JVMs (and possible others). this is (said to be) pretty much fixed in java 1.4.

I'm familiar with the code in ant and tomcat - and I don't remeber any
serious problem that would affect modeler. I plan to use one of those 2 -
and most of the "leg work" is already done.
the problems seem to arise when people start wanting to do slightly unusual things which are ok in compiled code. for example, public methods in a public subclass of a default access superclass can't be accessed when found by getMethod. (i can probably look up some more examples, if you like.)
