Altering plugin classpath dynamically? [message #261530]

I'm working on a plugin that needs to be able to add JDBC drivers to the
classpath dynamically. I've considered a large number of options, but
I'm not happy with any of them for various reasons. Is there any way to
get hold of the classloader of a bundle and update the classpath on the
fly? I've had a look around the OSGI implementation and this does not
seem possible, but I was hoping that someone would tell me that it is
possible and how I might do it.

Thanks,
Craig

Wrap it around with a URLClassloader. Is there anything wrong about this
solution?
