public class JarFileClassLoader
extends MultiParentClassLoader

The JarFileClassLoader that loads classes and resources from a list of JarFiles. This method is simmilar to URLClassLoader except it properly closes JarFiles when the classloader is destroyed so that the file read lock will be released, and the jar file can be modified and deleted.

Note: This implementation currently does not work reliably on windows, since the jar URL handler included with the Sun JavaVM holds a read lock on the JarFile, and this lock is not released when the jar url is dereferenced. To fix this a replacement for the jar url handler must be written.
