Ok, I have written threads in C,C++(not in Java) but I am missing something thats seems very basic here. so what you are saying is that run() is not really creating a new thread, but really just creating an object named 'MyThread' that happens to have a run() method? This would indicate that it is not a new thread, but just a method(run()) from another class(MyThread) that is called within the same thread.

This would make sense then if start() actually creates a new thread, and then calls run(). Your new thread then is independent of the current thread(which has a custom class loader)
