[Isolate-interest] any isolation API in J2SE.next will NOT be N:1 style

[Sutanu Ghosh]

I think most in the community will be happy as long as
"any" implementation is available in Mustang.
 
Now in the "simple" implementation you mentioned, will
there be any classloader (bootstrap,extension,system)
sharing with the root isolate ?
