title: Replacement System Classloader for Classes In Jars containing Jars
body: <p>So far, the examples I have seen for custom ClassLoaders involve subclassing the URLClassLoader, and using that specific instance to load classes in resources.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried in vain to look for alternative methods to replace the SystemClassLoader, so that my ClassLoader can be consulted for classes not located in the classpath.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader</code>, but it doesn't seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Is it even possible?</p>
