This is an oldie but goodie.. We never solved the problem of how to hide non java*. packages that are on the boot classpath from apps. We talked about a few possibilities : 1) repackage them to a different package namespace 2) have a "hidden" classloader that only the system classloader can use. I like #2. Has anyone looked into this or made any progress? Do people think this is as important as I do?
+1, the hidden classloader so far seems a better way to go, but for long term, I wish the JSR 277[1] or JSR 291[2] can be considered to address this kind of issue in general. [1] http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=277 [2] http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=291 geir
