Re: [jboss-as7-dev] [Resteasy-developers] NPE at org.jboss.resteasy.logging.Logger.classInClasspath(Logger.java:62)

I admit you have me baffled here. Class.forName(name, false, classLoader); is no more likely to cause CCE or linkage errors than classLoader.loadClass(name). It also has the benefit of being able to load array types and deal properly with the aforementioned null classLoader situation. And, as an added bonus it gives you the option to initialize the class, which you can't do via plain calls on ClassLoader. Overall it's a better API to use.
