I've always used the term "system class loader" to mean a user defined class loader (with associated ClassLoader object), and always different from the "bootstrap class loader" which (by my definition) is a VM internal thing and is the only class loader capable of deriving/defining types without invoking ClassLoader.defineClass(). By (my) definition, the "system class loader" is the class loader associated with the object returned by the method ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(). Are some people using "system class loader" to refer to the bootstrap loader.. ? I'd love some clarification on this. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
