class.getPackage() returns null

[Erhannis]

I'm not sure if this is particular to ODB, or just the way we call it, but I'm having some trouble because whenever I have a class object and call .getPackage() on it, it returns null. This is problematic in logging and a few other cases. For example, ServiceLocatorFactoryImpl.class.getPackage().getName() crashes, because .getPackage() returned null. (It does not return null when run on its own.)

I'm using Java 8. It seems to be working well, aside from this issue. (I do not know whether it's an issue in Java 6.) The command I'm using is basically:

java -noverify -Xms400100100 -Xmx400100100 -DMEMORY=400100100 -cp "LewisOmniscientDebugger.jar;##JAR##" com.lambda.Debugger.Debugger ##CLASS##

Ah, wait. I see now that the manual says that you have a custom classloader, for which .getPackage() returns null. Is there a way to make it return a sensible value?

@BilLewis may be able to help, Bil?

I think I've fixed this, but it should probably have a second set of eyes that actually know what they're doing. I'll try to make a pull request later tonight.
