I'd like to restrict AspectJ to treat certain files in a jar file as aspects (not doing that blows the memory limit of the JVM):

URL aspect = new URL("jar:file:/foo.jar!/baz/bam");
loader = new WeavingURLClassLoader(classpath, {aspectURL}, parent); 

The problem is that FileUtil.makeClassPath only takes the path component of a URL, thus ignoring the jar:// protocol. It also doesn't handle http or any other than file URLs properly, around line 1361:

	public static List makeClasspath(URL[] urls) {
		List ret = new LinkedList();
		if (urls != null) {
			for (int i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
				ret.add(urls[i].getPath());
			}
		}
		return ret;
	}

The WeavingAdaptor then takes this Stringified URL and just treats it like a path to a local file, without handling any protocols (that are already no longer present in the URL).
