+This is the core of the groovy loader
+we have two things in here
+a groovy proxy which allows the reloading
+of groovy objects loaded via our classloader under certain circumstances
+The proxy on the groovy side loads itself into the class metadata
+so that the objects under the best circumstances
+can run new code or run a new instance
+
+
+secondly our threaded filewatcher
+and object reloader
+which checks if files have changed and then reloads
+objects wherever possible
