That would be ok if the ServerLoader bootstrap class loader could be an osgi style class loader to have more control over what is exported. There are too many bootstrap jars that should not be visible to other deployments (trove.jar, dom4j.jar, concurrent.jar, log4j.jar, jaxb*, stax*) or we end up with thirdparty code that should only be an implementation detail in the bootstrap classpath.
