> Currently, the ReflectionUtils.forName(String) method provides a class loading service, which just uses the class loader of the ReflectionUtils class itself to load classes. Many classes use the ReflectionUtils.forName(String) method, but some use the direct Class.forName(String) method.
> Loading classes using Class.forName usually works very well in "simple" applications without much class loader ado. In certain environments, e.g. OSGi frameworks, classloaders are heavily used to separate parts of the application from other parts. In such environments, loading classes must be carefully crafted and using Class.forName(String) may not be adequate.
> To come around this limitation a bit, I propose to add functionality to the ReflectionUtils class to inject a custom class loader to be used.
