It is interesting to test applications which run in different classloader scenarios. One major use case is apps started by WebStart. They behave different than the same apps/test without WebStart. Tests set on top of WebStart would further improve the test quality (more realistic in special cases). This feature can be used in JavaFX scenarios too.

I haven't dealt with the classloading issue, but I've tested my WebStart app by creating my own ServiceManagerStub. I wrapped the application with a simple main() that registers the ServiceManagerStub and then calls the app's main() method. I created a BasicService that just logs when a URL is shown. I could also use it like a mock if desired by implementing something like BasicServiceImpl.assertDocumentShown(URL).
