I'm getting this unexpected behavior while testing my Scanning lib.

org.jboss.reflect.spi.CannotCompileException: javassist.CannotCompileException: by java.lang.LinkageError: loader (instance of  org/jboss/classloader/spi/base/BaseClassLoader): attempted  duplicate class definition for name: "org/jboss/test/scanning/annotations/support/FilteredAnnotationScanningPluginFactory"

I think this should not happen, since there should be only one instance of matching TypeInfo/ClassInfo.

But it looks like we're missing a check if the CtClass is already loaded by the underlying classloader inside that TI/CI instance.

Or some other mechanism that would prevent it from getting this duplicate behavior.
