Are you sure that the services your third-party jar wants to look up via
java.util.ServiceLoader.load(Clazz.class) are registered as
META-INF/services entries?
The problem could be that Lookup.getDefault().lookup(Clazz.class) also
looks up services registered in the system file system (layer.xml) i
I don't have a solution at hand but remember that the lookup will keep
a single object instance in memory for a given service entry while the
ServiceLoader will create fresh instances if it's just reading
META-INF/service files (unless the JAR keeps a reference to a single
ServiceLoader instance so
I can't respond theoretically to this but would be happy to look at it if
you could put a small app together that reproduces this, on GitHub.
