Description Thomas Watson CLA 2011-11-10 14:58:46 EST 
See 363522.

Bug is in the following method:

org.eclipse.osgi.baseadaptor.loader.ClasspathManager.findClassImpl(String, ClasspathEntry, ClassLoadingStatsHook[])

We catch IOExceptions and then return null.  Probably should be throwing some type of runtime exception there.  It is not clear if doing so would result in better error reporting or not.
