it be nice to allow users to set the parent class loader as per their

at times. More over, ability to specify this is better, I believe.
Equinox allows users to configure the parent [1].
Yes, I agree it might be nice to make this configurable.
What is confusing is that although the parent is automatically set to
"system class loader," it is not used for any kind of delegation.
Instead, Felix delegates to the class loader that loaded Felix framework
classes for any kind of class loading delegation. I am saying this based
on the following code that I see in R4SearchPolicyCore.java:
result = (isClass)
? (Object)
getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(name)
: (Object)
getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(name);
If this is the only delegation point, then it should not be that
difficult to provide a configuration point to user, should it?
Thanks,
