Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-6914:
----------------------------------------------

[~sriramks85] Not sure I understand the use case here. Kafka Connect is it's own service and it then loads all the plugins. How would Spring Boot fit in here?

> Currently Plugins class has a single constructor that takes in map of props.
> Please make Plugin class to have a constructor that takes in a classLoader as well and use it to set DelegationClassLoader's parent classLoader.
> Reason:
> This will be useful if i am already having a managed class Loader environment like a Spring boot app which resolves my class dependencies using my maven/gradle dependency management.
