Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We need to load classpath resources at runtime from an application that has a more complex classloading structure. Think: Quarkus, Spring Boot, or Wildfly.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be best to stop using Class.forName and use the current thread's classloader or to use Class.forName with the current thread's classloader as an argument.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
Additional context

Research direction
Start by reviewing the related issue #19197 and locating the Class.forName calls involved in runtime classpath resource loading. Check the behavior with complex classloading structures such as Quarkus, Spring Boot, or Wildfly; done means those resources load through the current thread's classloader.
