Some time ago, it was said that the classloader of a class could be

this is fairly "impossible" in OSGi without collaboration with the
OSGi framework implementation, as multiple (even fully compatible, or
even exact same versions) instance of the same classes can be present
in different class spaces within the OSGi framework, and which package
got resolved to which bundle (and hence the classloader) is an
implementation detail in OSGi. There is no theory around that fact. I
am speaking of "locating a classloader of an existing class already
present", and not how to locate one externally to the JVM and OSGi
framework.
It would be interesting to see how Paremus have implemented their Jini,
OSGi integration, all information is certainly welcome.
