hmm... it says if the parent is null, then the VM built in class loader will be used. Could it be, that the docs are not very well in that area? Or is it clear, that the built in class loader is the bootstrap loader? I think I did read somewhere that in Java 1.1.x the bootstrap loader did also load classpath elements. And since 1.2 this has been changed. But I worry not so much because of the Sun VM, I worry more about if other VMs do that the same way or not bye Jochen -- Jochen "blackdrag" Theodorou The Groovy Project Tech Lead (http://groovy.codehaus.org) http://blackdragsview.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
