How does this new class loader searches for classes? Does it first ask the parent class loader? I'm just curious if it's save to put third party libraries into WEB-INF/lib *and* add them to a sitemap classpath.
It uses the same code as the paranoid classloader, i.e. it searches locally first and then asks the parent classloader. We can make this configurable, although IMO this is the policy that most makes sense in this use case.
Using this feature will certainly give us a good jumpstart to discover all the good and bad things related to segmented classloading and hot reload and find what needs to be fixed or changed.
I can only say that my life as a developer has changed since yesterday evening ;-)
