I have started to put together a class that we can use as a key to
resolve classes, I'll commit it soon and then if you want I leave the
rest to you :)

With respect to passing a classloader to the DefaultArtifactResolver,
here's what I think: SimpleRuntimeImpl currently creates a single
DefaultArtifactResolver, independent of any SCA Contribution. This works
for now as SimpleRuntimeImpl only handles a single Contribution, but
what we really need is:
- one ArtifactResolver per Contribution


How are you going to resolve things external to the contribution then ?
Let's say on the case of import/exports ?

- one ClassLoader per Contribution

- and the ArtifactResolver can get the Contribution's ClassLoader passed
to its constructor.

I'm not sure if having the PackageProcessor create the ClassLoader is
the best solution as the hosting environment needs to have a say with
respect to which ClassLoader is used for what, but I guess we can start
with that approach at least now to make progress, and change later when
we have a better idea of how this fits with the various hosting
environments.
