/**
 * A {@link ClassLoader} that verifies the existence of a {@code .class} resource before attempting
 * to load the class. Intended to sit in front of servlet container loaders we do not control.
 *
 * <p>This implementation overrides {@link #loadClass(String, boolean)} and uses {@link
 * #getResource(String)} to check whether the corresponding <code>.class</code> file is available in
 * the classpath. If the resource is not found, a {@link ClassNotFoundException} is thrown
 * immediately.
 *
 * <p>Parallel-capable parent loaders retain a per-class-name lock object for every load attempt,
 * including misses. By checking getResource(name + ".class") first and throwing {@link
 * ClassNotFoundException} on absence, we avoid calling {@code loadClass} on misses, thus preventing
 * the parent from populating its lock map for nonexistent classes.
 *
 * <p>This class is only needed in {@link hudson.PluginManager.UberClassLoader}. It is unnecessary
 * for plugin {@link ClassLoader}s (because {@link URLClassLoader2} mitigates lock retention via
 * {@link ClassLoader#getClassLoadingLock}) and redundant for delegators (because {@link
 * DelegatingClassLoader} already avoids base locking).
