[forge-dev] shading!?

Why not just load them in to one classloader so you don't have collisions when there are mixed dependencies on Forge it self ?

How about shared data instances ? How does that work ?

...as a side note...creating our own module system now - I feel that is a very bad direction :(
Might as well adopt osgi plugin system if you want this kind of separation ?
