I know that Alan has provided some comments on this, but I just
grabbed your patch and sent it through our internal build and test
system. I observed a few failures:
Yes, I think URLClassLoader will be broken (Max is right, I forgot that 
URLClassPath is essentially the implementation of URLClassLoader).

I think Volker will need to change this so that 
ClassLoaders.toFileURL(String) uses toFile().toURI().toURL(). That will 
ensure that URLClassPath doesn't get URLs with the server name in the 
authority component.
