  AbstractFileResolvingResource | Abstract base class for resources which resolve URLs into File references, such as `org.springframework.core.io.UrlResource` or `org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource`.
  AntPathMatcher | PathMatcher implementation for Ant-style path patterns.
  AntPathMatcher.AntPathStringMatcher | Package-protected helper class for org.springframework.util.AntPathMatcher.

  ByteArrayResource | A Resource impl used represent a Resource as an array of bytes
  ClassPathResource | Resource implementation for class path resources.
  DefaultResourceLoader | Default implementation of the ResourceLoader interface.
  DefaultResourceLoader.ClassPathContextResource | ClassPathResource that explicitly expresses a context-relative path through implementing the ContextResource interface.
  DevNullPrintStream | PrintStream that does nothing
  FactoriesLoaderSupport | Base functionality for loading grails.factories
  FileSystemResource | Based on Spring FileSystemResource implementation.
  FileSystemResourceLoader | ResourceLoader implementation that resolves plain paths as file system resources rather than as class path resources (the latter is DefaultResourceLoader's default strategy).
