Scott Marlow Any thoughts on the best way to "release these resources"? Specifically, ClassLoaderServiceImpl holds a reference to a specialized ClassLoader impl named AggregatedClassLoader, which in turn holds an ClassLoader[] individualClassLoaders array. Is it enough for ClassLoaderServiceImpl to releases its references to the individualClassLoaders?

Like I said in the description, I am also a little concerned about the caching done by the JDK for its ServiceLoader impl.
