createClassLoader有两个方法可以用来构建ClassLoader
一 createClassLoader(File unpacked[], File packed[], final ClassLoader parent)

public static ClassLoader createClassLoader(File unpacked[],
                                                File packed[],
                                                final ClassLoader parent)
        throws Exception {

        if (log.isDebugEnabled())
            log.debug("Creating new class loader");

        // Construct the "class path" for this class loader
        Set<URL> set = new LinkedHashSet<>();

        // Add unpacked directories
        if (unpacked != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < unpacked.length; i++)  {
                File file = unpacked[i];
                if (!file.canRead())
                    continue;
                file = new File(file.getCanonicalPath() + File.separator);
                URL url = file.toURI().toURL();
                if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                    log.debug("  Including directory " + url);
                set.add(url);
            }
        }

        // Add packed directory JAR files
        if (packed != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < packed.length; i++) {
                File directory = packed[i];
                if (!directory.isDirectory() || !directory.canRead())
                    continue;
                String filenames[] = directory.list();
                if (filenames == null) {
                    continue;
                }
                for (int j = 0; j < filenames.length; j++) {
                    String filename = filenames[j].toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH);
                    if (!filename.endsWith(".jar"))
                        continue;
                    File file = new File(directory, filenames[j]);
                    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                        log.debug("  Including jar file " + file.getAbsolutePath());
                    URL url = file.toURI().toURL();
                    set.add(url);
                }
            }
        }

        // Construct the class loader itself
        final URL[] array = set.toArray(new URL[set.size()]);
        return AccessController.doPrivileged(
                new PrivilegedAction<URLClassLoader>() {
                    @Override
                    public URLClassLoader run() {
                        if (parent == null)
                            return new URLClassLoader(array);
                        else
                            return new URLClassLoader(array, parent);
                    }
                });
    }

另一个方法

public static ClassLoader createClassLoader(List<Repository> repositories,
                                                final ClassLoader parent)
        throws Exception {

        if (log.isDebugEnabled())
            log.debug("Creating new class loader");

        // Construct the "class path" for this class loader
        Set<URL> set = new LinkedHashSet<>();

        if (repositories != null) {
            for (Repository repository : repositories)  {
                if (repository.getType() == RepositoryType.URL) {
                    URL url = buildClassLoaderUrl(repository.getLocation());
                    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                        log.debug("  Including URL " + url);
                    set.add(url);
                } else if (repository.getType() == RepositoryType.DIR) {
                    File directory = new File(repository.getLocation());
                    directory = directory.getCanonicalFile();
                    if (!validateFile(directory, RepositoryType.DIR)) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    URL url = buildClassLoaderUrl(directory);
                    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                        log.debug("  Including directory " + url);
                    set.add(url);
                } else if (repository.getType() == RepositoryType.JAR) {
                    File file=new File(repository.getLocation());
                    file = file.getCanonicalFile();
                    if (!validateFile(file, RepositoryType.JAR)) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    URL url = buildClassLoaderUrl(file);
                    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                        log.debug("  Including jar file " + url);
                    set.add(url);
                } else if (repository.getType() == RepositoryType.GLOB) {
                    File directory=new File(repository.getLocation());
                    directory = directory.getCanonicalFile();
                    if (!validateFile(directory, RepositoryType.GLOB)) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                        log.debug("  Including directory glob "
                            + directory.getAbsolutePath());
                    String filenames[] = directory.list();
                    if (filenames == null) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    for (int j = 0; j < filenames.length; j++) {
                        String filename = filenames[j].toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH);
                        if (!filename.endsWith(".jar"))
                            continue;
                        File file = new File(directory, filenames[j]);
                        file = file.getCanonicalFile();
                        if (!validateFile(file, RepositoryType.JAR)) {
                            continue;
                        }
                        if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                            log.debug("    Including glob jar file "
                                + file.getAbsolutePath());
                        URL url = buildClassLoaderUrl(file);
                        set.add(url);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
         // Construct the class loader itself
        final URL[] array = set.toArray(new URL[set.size()]);
        if (log.isDebugEnabled())
            for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
                log.debug("  location " + i + " is " + array[i]);
            }

        return AccessController.doPrivileged(
                new PrivilegedAction<URLClassLoader>() {
                    @Override
                    public URLClassLoader run() {
                        if (parent == null)
                            return new URLClassLoader(array);
                        else
                            return new URLClassLoader(array, parent);
                    }
                });
    }

一个枚举类用来标识Repository（存储库的类型的）

 public enum RepositoryType {
        DIR,
        GLOB,
        JAR,
        URL
    }

一个内部类用来标识存储URL的方便后面的操作

public static class Repository {
        private final String location;
        private final RepositoryType type;

        public Repository(String location, RepositoryType type) {
            this.location = location;
            this.type = type;
        }

        public String getLocation() {
            return location;
        }

        public RepositoryType getType() {
            return type;
        }
    }

总结

1，ClassLoaderFactory的目的是创建 URLClassLoader
2，有两种方法一种是直接根据路径，另一种是根据ClassLoaderFactory的内部类
3，ClassLoaderFactory内部有两个类，一个是枚举类用来标记类型，还有一个是存取URL的相当于集合的Repository
