Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2002-12-15 13:33:29 EST 
Alot of people needlessly spec the runtime and boot plugins on the prereq list 
in their plugin.xml.  If taken literally this may mean that those plugins will 
be consulted twice during classloading (since they are included by default with 
boot as the classloader parent and runtime as the first prereq plugin).  Of 
course, that would impact performance.

I believe that there was code in there either to remove the surplus entries or 
to skip plugins which have already been visited (note that this last one will 
not work for boot as it is not a prereq).  Need to confirm that the right thing 
is done here.

Checked and its already done.
PluginClassLoader.initializeImportedLoaders.
Closing.
