j:getStatic/invokeStatic does not work on plugin classes

XMLWordPrintable

      If in j:getStatic or j:invokeStatic you specify a className which is in a plugin, then try to render the resulting Jelly view, you get

      java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: some.Class
	at org.jenkinsci.maven.plugins.hpi.ServletApiOnlyClassLoader.findClass(ServletApiOnlyClassLoader.java:25)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
	at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppClassLoader.loadClass(WebAppClassLoader.java:363)
	at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppClassLoader.loadClass(WebAppClassLoader.java:325)
	at org.apache.commons.jelly.tags.core.GetStaticTag.doTag(GetStaticTag.java:106)

      Indeed GetStaticTag does

      Class type = ClassLoaderUtils.getClassLoader(getClass()).loadClass(className);

      which calls

      public static ClassLoader getClassLoader(Class clazz) {
    ClassLoader callersLoader = clazz.getClassLoader();
    if (callersLoader == null) {
        callersLoader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
    }
    return callersLoader;
}

      so there is no way this could work.

      Workaround:

      ${app.pluginManager.uberClassLoader.loadClass('some.Class').getField('field').get(null)}
${app.pluginManager.uberClassLoader.loadClass('pkg.SomeExtension').getMethod('all', null).invoke(null, null)}
