Hello all
java.util.ServiceLoader does not seem to support usage of a second
Iterator in the middle of a previous iteration.
Nope it doesn't. At a minimum this should be documented. The distinct
Iterator instances returned by iterator() share the same lazy-lookup
iterator.
Right, it has never supported multiple iterators but as it's an Iterable
then it should unless specified otherwise. So I think this is a bug
(although one could argue that the usage is unusual, almost a mis-use).
Not clear whether it's worth doing anything about it now, this is
because ServiceLoader is going to change very significantly soon when it
is re-specified to work with modules. I'll create a bug anyway to track
it anyway.
