[forge-users] Furnace Class Loading Issue

[forge-users at lists.jboss.org]

Hey Ian,

Dependent classes are loaded by the loader that loaded the current class (unless manually declared otherwise using ClassLoader.loadClass(). So if Class X uses Class Y directly (by referencing its type in the source code), class Y will be loaded from Class X's class-loader. Now, X's ClassLoader may still delegate to a different classloader, but ClassLoader X will be the first place that is checked, if I am not mistaken. The second place that is checked if it is not found there, is the Thread.getContextClassLoader().

I hope this helps,
Lincoln
