Nobody is saying keep it in cache. If the operation is so simple, there 
*should not* be a
overhead in the MDR. Otherwise,  there is a fundamental flaw in the MDR 
design. FYI, you
can scan JDK sources and get all the toplevel class names in < 5 sec 
without any caching.

In fact, an RFE I want to see is an explorer tab with all class names. 
Right now, it is so hard to
browse to classes, it will be nice to have a view that is much more 
accessible (like the MDR
explorer). VCafe had it and it is very convenient and useful.
