Force buddy classloading programmatically [message #1754557]

In one of my plugins I have a very special usecase where I would need to use buddy classloading. Instead of adding
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: global
to the Manifest I would like to force this behavior manually for one call like this:
MyClass.class.getClassLoader().loadClass(name);

As the bundle contains lots of other classes I do not want to take the performance penalty on class loading for all the rest. Only other option I could think of would be to move MyClass to its own plugin.

Any chance to force buddy loading from the classloader - or any global classloader I can get my hands on?

thanks
Christian

There is no global class loader to do what you suggest. But I can tell you the buddy global policy implementation uses the PackageAdmin service to find the package for the class being loaded. Perhaps you could do the same yourself:
