After a bit of thinking, I was wondering if a possible solution could be to have the ability to change the ContentClassLoader implementation.

If something like this was present, I could have my own JDK5 only ContentClassLoader that extends ContentClassLoader and override the getResources method.

What do you think ?
May I start to create a patch for that ?

Thanks for your input Felix
That was not the answer I was expecting :)

Anyway, do you have any idea about how to workaround this problem ?

Hi Guillaume,

The problem with this method is, that upto and including Java 1.4 it is
marked final. It is not final anymore starting with Java 5.. So, the
ContentClassLoader cannot overwrite.

Hope this helps.

Hi team

I've just noticed that the ContentClassLoader do not override the ClassLoader.getResources(String) method. It only override the ClassLoader.getResource(String method). Notice the final 's', one of theses methods is returning an Enumeration, not the other one. Moreover, the ISearchPolicy, that is used under the hood to find resources have a findResources(String):Enumeration method :)

I expect getResources() to list resources available to the bundle (using OSGi constraints), not only "local" resources, which is the current behavior.

This is probably something forgotten :)
Can you enlight me ? Is this normal, or not ?
