/**
 * A secure class loader that can load classes and resources from
 * multiple locations.  Given an array of <code>URL</code>s this class
 * loader will retrieve classes and resources by fetching them from
 * possible remote locations.  Each <code>URL</code> is searched in
 * order in which it was added.  If the file portion of the
 * <code>URL</code> ends with a '/' character then it is interpreted
 * as a base directory, otherwise it is interpreted as a jar file from
 * which the classes/resources are resolved.
 *
 * <p>New instances can be created by two static
 * <code>newInstance()</code> methods or by three public
 * contructors. Both ways give the option to supply an initial array
 * of <code>URL</code>s and (optionally) a parent classloader (that is
 * different from the standard system class loader).</p>
 *
 * <p>Normally creating a <code>URLClassLoader</code> throws a
 * <code>SecurityException</code> if a <code>SecurityManager</code> is
 * installed and the <code>checkCreateClassLoader()</code> method does
 * not return true.  But the <code>newInstance()</code> methods may be
 * used by any code as long as it has permission to acces the given
 * <code>URL</code>s.  <code>URLClassLoaders</code> created by the
 * <code>newInstance()</code> methods also explicitly call the
 * <code>checkPackageAccess()</code> method of
 * <code>SecurityManager</code> if one is installed before trying to
 * load a class.  Note that only subclasses of
 * <code>URLClassLoader</code> can add new URLs after the
 * URLClassLoader had been created. But it is always possible to get
 * an array of all URLs that the class loader uses to resolve classes
 * and resources by way of the <code>getURLs()</code> method.</p>
 *
 * <p>Open issues:
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>Should the URLClassLoader actually add the locations found in
 * the manifest or is this the responsibility of some other
 * loader/(sub)class?  (see <a
 * href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.4/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html">
 * Extension Mechanism Architecture - Bundles Extensions</a>)</li>
 *
 * <li>How does <code>definePackage()</code> and sealing work
 * precisely?</li>
 *
 * <li>We save and use the security context (when a created by
 * <code>newInstance()</code> but do we have to use it in more
 * places?</li>
 *
 * <li>The use of <code>URLStreamHandler</code>s has not been tested.</li>
 *
 * </ul>
 * </p>
