[bv-dev] [BVAL-286] Class loading service

[Hardy Ferentschik]

Hi,

Gunnar pointed just out the following blog post to me - http://njbartlett.name/2010/08/30/osgi-readiness-loading-classes.html
It explains nicely some problems around class loading and discusses some solutions. 

Independent of BVAL-251 it makes sense to define such a service.
