Classloading issue

[Philippe Mouawad]

Hello,
I am implementing a specific RequestView for a particular kind of requests.
I package my JAR and put it in lib/ext.
I run JMeter but my RequestView is not found.
I debugged RequestPanel constructor:

try {
           classesToAdd =
JMeterUtils.findClassesThatExtend(RequestView.class);
       } catch (IOException e1) {
           // ignored
       }

This finds my class.
But this code:
final RequestView requestView =
     (RequestView)   Class.forName(clazz).newInstance();

Fails with ClassNotFoundException.

To workaround I changed this to :
final RequestView requestView = (RequestView)
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(clazz).newInstance();
and it worked.

Is there something wrong in my approach or should I submit a patch ?
This issue also occurs on 2.5

I opened issue 51854.
Thank you
Regards
Philippe Mouawad
