Re: [xmlblaster] xmlBlaster client as OSGi bundle (eclipse plugin)

As there were several questions about how I solved the classloader issue
 attached you will find the specialized classloaderfactory. If you use
this workaround don't forget to set the property "urlClassLoaderFactory".

See also at the topic "[xmlblaster] small fix regarding classloader" in
the news group archive.

/**
 * Custom <code>ClassLoaderFactory</code> for xmlBlaster. This implementation
 * takes care of ClassCastExceptions in the default
 * <code>StandaloneClassLoaderFactory</code>. It assumes that the current
 * classloader is an instance of <code>URLClassLoader</code> but it can be an
 * <code>EclipseClassLoader</code> or something else. If the default implemenation fails a new
 * delegating <code>URLCLassLoader</code> will be returned to the callers. To use this implementation set
 * xmlBlaster property <i>urlClassLoaderFactory</i>.
