The ClassPools have their own parent and domain delegation structure, that mimics the ClassLoader's parent and domain structure. So, when we ask for a ClassPool to load a class, it will use this delegation structure to find and load the class. At the point that the delegation reaches the ClassPool corresponding to the AppClassLoader (the parent of default domain), the classpool is able of loading classes in excluded package. IMO, the only way of avoiding this is aborting the load of the class if it is in the excluded package. That's the same as saying that I have to mimic the exclusion mechanism with the classpools.
