/**
 * This class is a test to see if the XMLDecoder can be loaded by a custom class loader. The purpose of which is because Hudson delegates to the
 * server classloader to get the basic Java classes but the XMLDecoder classloader does not have access to the classes in the individual plugins, so
 * it is basically useless of course. In any case it is not possible because the classes that start with java.lang are not allowed to be loaded by
 * anything other than the system class loader. So to answer my own question this will not work.
