Thoughts on Java files and forward compatibility?

Hi

BogDan, you were right, it was too good to be true. DefineClass from 
byte array is not implemented on Android.

I might be behind in the discussion but what's wrong in putting a .jar 
file along with the Qt .so files? There is a way to create .jar file 
with a .dex files inside and load it runtime using 
http://developer.android.com/reference/dalvik/system/DexClassLoader.html 
from Qt libraries - loading works, I have tried it. I can share some 
code also if you are interested.

Regards
Lauri
