I'll let Andrew reply to his concerns. I have only one concern (below):

We are catching any exception and re-throwing a CNFE. However exceptions
could occur due to something like a file mentioned in the jarindex not
existing on the server. This may not necessarily be fatal to the app
(the class may exist in the next jar specified in the index). The CNFE
will however make it fatal..

Cheers,
