---------------------------------------------------------------
I've also removed as may uses of PDFBox's ResourceLoader as possible, because
as you point out it is "obscure and dangerous". It is now only used by
PDFStreamEngine and its subclasses for loading .properties files. However, this
usage is itself not OSGI compatible as it is designed to by used by subclasses
in a different module, where loading resources from the "pdfbox" module is not
OSGI friendly.
This looks like the final straw for the PDFStreamEngine .properties mechanism,
which was already a candidate for removal.

> ExternalFonts uses classloader of class in font-box
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2358
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Cornelis Hoeflake
> Assignee: John Hewson
>
> ExternalFonts loads some default fonts via the
> org.apache.fontbox.util.ResourceLoader. That resourceloader uses it's own
> classloader (ResourceLoader.class.getClassLoader()) for loading the given
> resource.
> The problem is that the resource is in the PDFBox project and the
> ResourceLoader in the FontBox. In an OSGI environment this is a problem.
