Tom  Elrod commented on JBREM-659:
----------------------------------

Have update all the places where ClassLoader.loadClass() was being called and either replaced with Class.forName() call or changed to use the ClassLoaderUtility class.  These changes have been made to HEAD, remoting_2_x and remoting_1_4 branches.

Have also created a 1.4.6.GA release for these changes (with tag of remoting_1_4_6_GA) and have published to jboss repository (see JBREM-659 - changed all ClassLoader.loadClass() calls to Class.forName() calls so will work with jdk 1.6).
