Thanks Peter, for providing the example I was asking. As I said in another
message
I do not want to keep insisting on this issue, but if I look at the Project API
(i.e., the public methods provded) there is right there:
public ClassLoader getCoreLoader();
which makes me think that correctly written tasks should be using at least
something like:
URLClassLoader classLoader = new URLClassLoader( myURLs,
this.getProject().getCoreLoader() );
this is why I considered that such tasks were broken as oppose of we changing
things.
But granted there may be tasks out there that may break.
