Description
If you have a processor/Controller Service/Reporting Task that has a property with dynamicallyModifiesClasspath(true) and you set the value to a directory, the resources in that directory will only be calculated when that property changes. This means if you added JARs to the directory later, and stopped and started your processor, those new JARs still won't be available. You would have to change the property to a new directory, or back and forth to some other directory, to force a recalculation.
The setProperties method in AbstractConfiguredComponent is where it looks at incoming property changes and determines if any were for classpath related properties and then calls reload accordingly.
We would need to consider the case where setProperties is never even being called, someone just stops and starts the processor and would want to pick up any new JARs added.
A possible solution might be to computer some kind of hash/fingerprint of the URLs each time reload is called, and then when starting the processor we could recompute the fingerprint and compare it to the previous one. If they are different then we call reload before starting the component.
