Dims,

Just tried it and it appears to work... at least partly.

- I add classes to exploded/classes/ but they were NOT successfully loaded by 
the classloader
- However, I then jar'ed up the classes and added the jar to exploded/lib/ and 
the classes in the jar were successfully loaded

so 1 out of 2...

Tony,

there is some support for "exploded' directories:

Maybe we should spiff it up and make sure it covers your case. Please 
experiment a bt and JIRA's are welcome.

thanks,
dims
