It doesn't atm ... hopefully it will one day ;) We tried to do it by installing protocol handlers and loading classes through them but unfortunately that didn't work out quite as well as hoped. I had a look at a few different projects to see how they did it. All of them basically extract the embedded jars to a temporary file on the filesystem there and then load the classes from that. For instance I believe one of the Tomcats - not sure which creates a directory like $TOMCAT_HOME/work/myWebApp to store extracted jars and so forth and that seems to mostly work. We should probably do that eventually.
