The logging statement above would indicate a bug in the code where somehow `setProperties` got called and the framework didn't correctly set the context ClassLoader prior to calling it. We could throw an exception here, but really that doesn't do anything more than logger.warn/logger.error which both generate a bulletin in the UI telling the user the classpath wasn't modified, at which point they could choose not to start the processor. The second scenario is when ClassLoaderUtils.getURLsForClasspath(...) is called... right now it skips over resources it can't resolve. My thinking here was that in the general case we should be more lenient and not blow up just because 1 out of possibly many resources can't be found. If someone absolutely needs every resource loaded, I believe they should implement a custom validator for their property that could call getURLsForClasspath with suppression set to false, so that it fails validation if it can't find something. What do you think?
