I'm trying to understand the start up procedure of the JVM, specifically how it loads the bootstrap SecurityManager. I keep getting wrapped around the axle. Any direction as to where to research would be appreciated.
By bootstrap SecurityManager, do you mean the security manager loaded through the use of -Djava.security.manager? That is handled by sun.misc.Launcher. That also deals with extension and system class loaders.
