First and foremost, avoid truezip as a plague. This, along with couple
of other true* libraries I've looked at, constitute some of the most
complicated and overengineered pieces of code I've ever seen :-)

I have not looked at truezip sources and don't know what kind of class
lookup it uses, there was a similar problem reported in 396554 [1],
which appears to be a general problem when using TCCL with
Equinox/ContextFinder and Class.forName. There are couple of articles
linked from the bugzilla that explain the problem in more details,
probably [2] the most detailed and relevant.

In any case, I am not aware of any thread context classloader "leaks" in
m2e, so if somebody believes there is such leak please provide a quality
fix and I'll review and apply it.
