url-class-loader


A simple wrapper for URLClassloader.

The class loader is created when this type is configured, and the same class loader is then shared with all jobs that reference this type. Because creating numerous class loader can use up the permgen heap space it is best to avoid creating the type in a loop. Instead add it to variables outside the loop and only reference it inside the loop.
