/**
 * ClassLoader that is composed of other classloaders. Each loader will be used to try to load the particular class, until
 * one of them succeeds. <b>Note:</b> The loaders will always be called in the REVERSE order they were added in.
 *
 * <p>The Composite class loader also has registered  the classloader that loaded xstream.jar
 * and (if available) the thread's context classloader.</p>
 *
 * <h1>Example</h1>
 * <pre><code>CompositeClassLoader loader = new CompositeClassLoader();
 * loader.add(MyClass.class.getClassLoader());
 * loader.add(new AnotherClassLoader());
 * &nbsp;
 * loader.loadClass("com.blah.ChickenPlucker");
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * <p>The above code will attempt to load a class from the following classloaders (in order):</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>AnotherClassLoader (and all its parents)</li>
 *   <li>The classloader for MyClas (and all its parents)</li>
 *   <li>The thread's context classloader (and all its parents)</li>
 *   <li>The classloader for XStream (and all its parents)</li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>The added classloaders are kept with weak references to allow an application container to reload classes.</p>
