[javasim-general] Adding a custom library and make it accessible via GUI Editor

[Hung-ying Tyan]

The class hierarchy is cached in GUI (saved in "classes.dat") for
performance reason.  All you need to do is "File" -> "Refresh Library"
to refresh the file.  I am not sure if you can see the change right away
but restarting the GUI will definitely do it.
