Proposal: Authomatic load verndor driver in class path

[garfy0886]

In our experience we have often encountered two problems:

1. software supports peripherals from multiple vendors and you have to include the correct drivers in your software each time
2. it happens that different peripherals use different versions of libraries that might conflict

we have developed an extension that helps solve these problems. it is based on dynamically loading the classpath of the driver libraries.

I'll leave you the example of our code, it's a few lines but you might find it useful.

@garfy0886, thanks for your contribution! It is very appreciated.

In fact, this is a reference implementation of the UnifiedPOS standardization efforts for the Java platform. Even if this is widely used in production everyone may provide its own implementation. Of course, if several providers are concurrently servicing a customer it may be a problem, finally.

Nevertheless, all the contributors spent their spare time on pushing this forward.

May you open an issue and a pull request at the sub project javapos-config-loader. That's where the loading logic is located.

The best approach would be to implement a parallel implementation to src/main/java/jpos/loader/simple.

In fact, the implementation of the service connection implementation is configurable. Your implementation would be a good alternative to the "simple" implementation!
