Description

pluggable classloader:

1) in current pivot trunk, TCCL, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().... is mentioned 105 times
I suggest to centralize it and replace with pluggable classloader (which can use TCCL by default);

2) review all other uses of Class.getResource(), which are not using TCCL, and convert when possible;
