Hi, I extracted our support for shielded classloading and added a patch to the maven war plugin, see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-84. As soon as this patch is accepted by the maven community (and hopefully they will), shielded class loading is not the concern of Cocoon anymore and we can remove this stuff from our own plugin.
To prepare this, I committed the code I used for the war plugin to our deployer plugin - so we are now using a simplified version if the classloading which does not depend on the bootstrap stuff anymore. This has the advantage of removing the bootstrap module and move the stuff into core again. I think we should move the basic class loading support into core while moving the reloading stuff into a separate module to keep the core dependencies as minimal as possible.
