Re: [equinox-dev] ClassLoader incompatibilities due to EquinoxFWClassLoader

Tom,

See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253649

Starting/stopping the same instance works just fine. I think however, that it would be best if I could use multiple instances without having to worry about how Equinox does it's own classloading for a given instance.
