I think there are better ways of finding out about unloaded classes then getting a list of all the classes, and then querying each one to see if has been unloaded.

I would argue that if definedClasses() ever gets ObjectCollectedException, there's probably a bug in the caller for not doing a vm.suspend(). However, since definedClasses() does not require the app to be suspended, it is necessary to defend against ObjectCollectedException as Daniil has done.

Isn't that the point? The list returned could have unloaded classes  and we can catch it via this exception (from the comment above the ReferenceType interface):

 * {@link ObjectCollectedException} if the mirrored type has been unloaded.

Turns out that even in the definedClasses, we can get that exception so we should check for it while walking the reference types as well?

Oh wait, this isn't a test. It's part of JDI. I guess it would be up to
the user of ClassLoaderReference.definedClasses() to do the suspend. In
fact I'm not sure there's much purpose in calling
ClassLoaderReference.definedClasses() without suspending first. Even
with your changes, the list returned can end up with references to
unloaded classes.
