Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public class ClassUtils
extends java.lang.Object

ClassUtils allows for class resolution (Class.forName) on a specially defined class loader. In practice this will be the class loader created when the plugins are loaded from plugins/. This class, however, exposes some a habit and I (Arjan) would love to get rid of it again: the class loader value is kept in a mutable static variable. This by itself is enough to desire to get rid of this class: it can mess up test runs in unpredictable ways. Currently this class loader is set from ContextConfigurator.makeFitNesseContext() whenever a new FitNesseContext is created. getClassLoader Note that there are still direct invocations of Class.forName in the code. Those pieces of code are executed on the SUT or have otherwise no relation with the plugins system.
