Description

uimaFIT tries to set a custom classloader on a resource manager - but it does so without adding any additional classpath entries:

          ResourceManager resMgr = UIMAFramework.newDefaultResourceManager();
          resMgr.setExtensionClassPath(ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader(), "", true);
          return resMgr;

With UV3, this call now produces a warning:

org.apache.uima.internal.util.Misc addUrlsFromPath(257) WARNING: Skipping adding "" to URLs

It would be nice to have a `resMgr.setExtensionClassPath` method that just sets the parent loader but without trying to add URLs.
