 * <li>A set of directories containing unpacked classes (and resources)
 *     that should be included in the class loader's
 *     repositories.</li>
 * <li>A set of directories containing classes and resources in JAR files.
 *     Each readable JAR file discovered in these directories will be
 *     added to the class loader's repositories.</li>
 * <li><code>ClassLoader</code> instance that should become the parent of
 *     the new class loader.</li>
 * </ul>
