classloader¶

View hierarchy, urls and classes-loading info for the class-loaders.

classloader can search and print out the URLs for a specified resource from one particular classloader. It is quite handy when analyze ResourceNotFoundException.

Options¶

Name	Specification
[l]	list all classloader instances
[t]	print classloader's hierarchy
[a]	list all the classes loaded by all the classloaders (use it with great caution since the output can be huge)
[c:]	print classloader's hashcode
`[c: r:]`	using ClassLoader to search resource
`[c: load:]`	using ClassLoader to load class

Usage¶
