Marshall Schor updated UIMA-3642:
---------------------------------

    Description: In large multithreaded deployment with many annotators, 
measurements showed large slowdown in class loading as 100's of annotator 
classes were loaded, perhaps in 100's of instances.  Each load operation locked 
1 shared global lock.  Java 7 implements a finer grained locking for this, so 
that the lock is per [ classloader + class-name ], to reduce lock contention.  
This code will need to be conditional for Java 7 and later.  See 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/lang/cl-mt.html  (was: In
