> While running integration tests from the IntelliJ IDE, it appears plugins fail to load in {{DelegatingClassLoader.scanUrlsAndAddPlugins}}. The reason was, in this case, that the class {{org.apache.kafka.connect.connector.ConnectorReconfigurationTest$TestConnector}} could not be instantiated - which it does not intend to be.
> The problem does not appear when running integration tests with Gradle as the runtime closure is different from IntelliJ - which includes test sources from module dependencies on the classpath.
> While debugging this minor inconvenience, I could see that {{DelegatingClassLoader}} performs a sanity check on the plugin class to instantiate - as of now, it verifies the class is concrete. A quick fix for the problem highlighted above could to add an extra condition on the Java modifiers of the class to ensure it will be instantiable.
