ClassLoaderAccess (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassLoaderAccessDelegateImpl, ClassLoaderAccessImpl, ClassLoaderAccessLazyImpl, ClassLoaderAccessTestingImpl
```
public interface ClassLoaderAccess
```
During the process of building this metamodel, accessing the ClassLoader is very discouraged. However, sometimes it is needed. This contract helps mitigate accessing the ClassLoader in these cases.
