I didn't mean that you should lose that ability. If you have the
chance to decide which parent classloader bsh.ClassManager gets to
use, you can pass to it the classloader of ABCL's Lisp class. That
will make ABCL's classes visible to it, while retaining the ability to
load jars dynamically.

That might be problematic. Do you iterate through the classpath
somehow? Since there's no general means to do that, people usually
assume that everything in the classpath has been loaded from a
physical jar residing somewhere on the filesystem or the net. OSGi
might break that assumption.
