Simone Tripodi commented on DISCOVERY-11:
-----------------------------------------

wouldn't be better letting users know that there are problem on loading their classes, instead of simply swallowing exceptions and ignoring the class loading?
I'm worried that the proposed solution could drive crazy someone...

> The enumeration created by Service.providers does not catch UnsatisfiedLinkErrors and ExceptionInInitializerErrors. The former can arise, if a class contains a call to System.loadLibrary(String) in its static initializer, while the latter will be thrown, when a runtime exception is thrown from the static initializer. Service.providers should catch and ignore these and it should simply discard the class provoking the error as not available. As of version 0.4, Commons Discovery just forwards these errors.
