There seems to be some general confusion, concerning the bootstrap classloader, which is often represented as null, and the "system" or application classloader - as returned by ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader - which is never null. For example, the class docs for java.lang.Class states:
"Arrays with identical type and number of dimensions share the same class (and null "system" ClassLoader, incidentally)." First the system classloader is not null. Second, arrays have the same classloader as their element type which is null only if the element type is a primitive of itself loaded by the bootstrap loader. Then in the docs for Class.getClassLoader() it again incorrectly states "If it was loaded by the system classloader this method will return null". "system" should be "bootstrap".
