RE: Embedding Merlin in Main method

From the following we can see that your deployment scenario is
presumable defined within the kernel because your not declaring any
deployment targets.  


>   ${merlin.kernel} == file:/D:/merlin/config/kernel.xml
>   ${merlin.deployment} ==


Later on in the trace we can see that your classloader definition isn't
adding much - in fact it not adding anything in the classpath, and
reasonably there are no component types located.

Moving on with what is in effect an empty container ...

Which is a perfectly reasonable situation - you're asking for a
component that does not exist.

Can we roll back a bit here and provide a summary of what exactly are
you trying to do (sorry if you have already provided this info).  Anyway
- seems to me you may be going about it the wrong way.
