I finally found the problem. Drools has a ClassFieldExtractorFactory that
creates a classloader who's parent comes from
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(). This willl cause the drools
classloader to not be able to see the plugin classes. A better way to do it
would have been to check both the context and the current classes
classloader. Since that isn't going to happen I'll have to shift things
around a bit to make it work.
