Hi sb,
I agree that it may be hard to implement, although I think the affected code
will be
confined to UNO jars only (unoil.jar, ridl.jar, jurt.jar, jug.jar). However,
let's point
out that there is one OpenOffice.org and there are potentially hundreds of
extensions for
it written in Java. By not providing it in OpenOffice.org we introduce a major
road-block
to extension developers. I am confident that a majority will abandon their
project blaming
it on bugs in OpenOffice.org even before you get a chance to explain that they
have to add
the line
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
to every method in every listener and every callback class such as XAsyncJob. I
am lucky to
be paid for writing OpenOffice.org extensions, so I'm not going anywhere :)
So, let's not rush marking this issue RESOLVED (WONTFIX) and make an attempt to
fix it. It
was an unintended side-effect or the new class loader architecture (which is
otherwise
simply fantastic!) and deserves some attention. I have gone through several
mail threads
where people hit this problem but everyone has their own explanation, which
indicates that
the issue is not obvious and developers get confused. I myself spent hours in
Eclipse
debugger to narrow down the problem. It is not documented (or at least not
indexed by
google) and due to misunderstanding from developers I keep finding wrong
solutions, such as
adding dependent libraries to the root classpath or changing the way I load
resources which
is not possible when I use 3rd party libraries, such as Spring.
