Hi all, FYI, I've now checked gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory into cvs. Its purpose is to load plug-in services that are specified via META-INF/services resources (usually located in JAR files in the VM's extension directory). By default, services will be loaded via the calling thread's context class loader, but there's also a variant which takes an explicit ClassLoader argument.
The following classes will need to be adjusted: - java.nio.charset.Charset - javax.print.PrintServiceLookup - javax.print.StreamPrintServiceFactory - javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry (already done) - (probably some more) It would be good if the respective authors could do this... Testing: The method javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders exposes a public API for loading plug-in services. The Mauve testlets (in the Mauve repository) run tests against this public API, not on the Classpath-internal gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory.
