> Library dependencies like Spring, Jackson, Spring Security, etc. usually have many dependencies. Which if used within a module, require the listing each of these dependencies.
> With the addition of ClassLoader Isolation a need arose, where these libraries where loaded into a single ClassLoader, instead of being loaded by the ClassLoaders of each of the modules that depended on these libraries.
> This feature is to replace the following:
> {code:groovy}
>     implementation('org.springframework:spring-core')
>     implementation('org.springframework:spring-beans')
>     implementation('org.springframework:spring-context')
>     implementation('org.springframework:spring-jcl')
>     implementation('org.springframework:spring-web')
>     implementation('org.springframework.shell:spring-shell')
> {code}
> with a single entry: 
> {code:groovy}
>    implementation(project(':frameworks:springframework'))
> {code}
> What this new construct allows for is a pattern closer to "using a framework" without having to explicitly define all the library dependencies. In this approach, we "use" a framework library, rather than knowing all of the internal dependencies.
> With this change, the ClassLoader isolation work, will only load each dependency once.
> Currently identified dependencies that require to be loaded only once are:
> Spring and Jackson
