@olegz I pushed up a second commit that with the change that I described
above, and also some of the changes from your feedback. Unfortunately I had
already rebased my branch before you had started reviewing, so i ended up
having to force push, but I left it as two commits where the first one has the
stuff you already looked at, and the second commit has changes after that.
I think the remaining discussion point is mostly around how restrictive we
get regarding what happens when one or more resources can't be found. I
understand the point about what happens if something that is necessary can't be
loaded, but I also want to give flexibility to the developers using this
feature. There may be cases where someone wants to provide a couple of
directories that are common locations for a given library, and if found then
load whatever is found, but if not then maybe they don't care. One option might
be to provide a validator that uses ClassLoader.getURLsforClasspath to validate
everything resolves, and then document that this is available, but not enforce
that it is always used.
