Please forgive me if I am wrong - I'm not very familiar with this code. But isn't the only reason for synchronizing on classLoaders that there would be problems if another thread tries to add or remove classloaders while the Set is traversed? If this is the case, couldn't we avoid synchronizing on it by making ServiceLibraries.addClassLoader() and removeClassloader() create an entire new Set? Of course, then these methods would have to be synchronized, and we would probably also have to synchronize on the instance variables classes, resources, clToClassSetMap and clToResourceSetMap, but these locks would not be held while ClassLoader.loadClassInternally() is called.
