Alexey,
We should also note, that system class loader === application loader (===
URLClassLoader in our case). :)
Though, it looks like I've mistaken when generifying the requirement for
class loader to parse manifest and extract Class-Path attribute from it.
Though :), this requirement is true for bootstrap class loader (at least RIs
do parse them).
Regards,
Pavel.

Pavel,
Thanks for the links - I found smth interesting in the last one.
Note, however: all of them mention that the application or extension
class loader should use the Class-Path attribute, not arbitrary
URLClassLoader. Moreover, this depends on the context - e.g. the
extension CL should ignore it. And the URLClassLoader does not provide
any API to control this.
Though our URLClassLoader is aware of the Class-Path attribute and
current JarRunner impl works, we may need to revisit this issue in
sometime...
