Ugly, becomes very difficult to read if the list gets very long.
><available property="myclasses.present">

></available>
Much more readable. Should the inner tag be <resource
classname="whatever"/> or <class name="whatever"/>? The latter would seem
to allow for fairly straightforward extension to other resource types. Or
maybe
<available property="myclasses.present">
<resource.class name="org.whatever.MyClass"\>
<resource.class name="org.whatever.MyClass2"\>
</available>
which retains the extensibility, but still makes it clear that this is a
resoucre check...
