[Task]: Investigate the possibility for using the CustomToolClassLoader for Compiler plugins

[gayaldassanayake]

Description

Any bal tool runs with a custom class loader that prioritises the child jars over parent jars.

However, when trying to load a package within the tool and compile, and if that package contains compiler plugins, The compiler plugin does not use the parent CustomToolClassLoader. It uses the app class loader.

This has caused issues in service loading during the implementation of bal scan.

Describe your task(s)

[ ] - Check the feasibility of changing the compiler plugin related class loader creation to use the parent, in this case CustomToolClassLoader
[ ] - Introduce this to the 2201.8.5 fix

This was delayed since the scan tool currently has a workaround as of now to

• either add dependencies to bre/lib or
• dump the report details into a file and re read

Closing since this requirement is no longer valid since scan tool is not following this approach
