43 * Maintains a list of the {@link ClassLoader} instances
44 * registered with the management servers, allowing it

46 * JMX API, this class represented a shared repository for
47 * the classloaders of all management servers. The management
48 * of classloaders is now decentralised and this class is
49 * deprecated. The old behaviour is emulated by consulting
50 * the {@link MBeanServer#getClassLoaderRepository()} method
51 * of all the servers obtained from
52 * {@link MBeanServerFactory#findMBeanServer(String)}. Use of
53 * this class should be avoided in new code.

56 * @since 1.5
57 * @deprecated Use {@link MBeanServer#getClassLoaderRepository()}
58 * instead.
