@mux2005: I can understand your sentiment, to some degree at least. We have
seen in the past that lots of Java code relied on an appropriate context class
loader being set, but failed to take care to actually set one. Such code is not
helped by "the framework" ensuring that generally some "arbitrary" context class
loader is set---in some cases, that "arbitrary" context class loader will be
appropriate and the code in question will happen to work by accident (until
conditions change), in other cases the code in question will fail in more or
less obvious ways. Against that background, the request to strip down "the
framework" to no longer care to set some "arbitrary" context class loader, but
simply rely on the (also "arbitrary") one already set by the JVM itself, seems
reasonable to me---all the broken code is broken, anyway, regardless whether it
happened to work by accident with the previously set "arbitrary" context class
loader. (And all the better that the broken code will typically fail faster now
when the "arbitrary" context class loader set by the JVM itself is null.) It is
hard to tell whether the error in JEditorPane is prototypical of many more
similar errors across the JRE code base, or just a single, unlucky one-off.
@oj: You requested this change, for performance reasons. Please comment on the
previous comments from mux2005.
