Yes, I put that comment in there as a reminder and should have removed 
it - thanks (and Chris).

The list doesn't have to be complete, this is just the JAR files that 
will be skipped. I completed list that hardcoded list needs clean-up 
(even the construction of) and that's the clean-up I hinted at in the 
first mail. I decided not to change in this round as I just wanted to 
restore the startup. Also it takes time to verify startup across a 
number of platforms so changing code in this area takes a bit longer to 
verify.
