Override Bundle classloader in OSGi?

Question

Is this possible somehow?

I mean for my own bundle?

Thank you Misha

ps More specifically, I am interesting in having a class within my bundle (well, within a fragment) return my custom classloader from a call to

MyClass.class.getClassLoader()

rather than the bundle's???

Thank you very much

Yours Misha

ps Some helpful links I've found that don't seem to answer this question :(

If you're using Equinox as your OSGi implementation, I think you can have a look the classloader hook .

You can check out the code of Equinox Transforms to see how to contribute your hook.
