public class XBUSClassLoader
extends java.net.URLClassLoader

XBUSClassLoader manages an URLClassLoader, that loads all jar-files under XBUS_HOME/lib, XBUS_HOME/lib/runtime and XBUS_HOME/plugin/lib. All *Bootstrap classes use this URLClassLoader to start the functionality of the xBus. For this reason, only the library xbus-bootstrap.jar must be in the CLASSPATH when starting the xBus.
