[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - ClassLoader usage in AnnotationCreator::createAnnotation

While fixing JBMDR-45, I saw this usage (MDR / AnnotationCreator): | public static Object createAnnotation(ASTAnnotation node, Class<?> annotation, ClassLoader cl) throws Exception | { | HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>(); | ClassLoader loader = (cl != null) ? cl : Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); | if (annotation == null) | { | annotation = loader.loadClass(node.getIdentifier()); | } | My question is, why don't we rather take loader from annotation class if it's not null, then use TCCL?
