Is it possible that you're confusing the bootstrap/primordial/"real system"
classloader with the application class loader?
Despite its name, getSystemClassLoader does not return the bootstrap
classloader. It returns the classloader used to load the application,
that is, the application classloader.
At least that's my reading of the documentation.
