> Java's File.listFiles returns files in a not always consistent order.  This can be seen by listing a large directory on different platforms, or even on the same platform.  Specifically, on Solaris we had copied the deploy directory, and found the behavior of our app changed.  This was due to two jar files having different versions of the same class.  Always loading files in the same order would reduce the chance of the order randomly changing.
