There are only two cases where getClassLoader is allowed to return null:

a) it may return null for a bootstrap loader so represented; and
b) it must return null when invoked in the Class object for a primitive type
or void.

Consequently application code should have every right to assert that
"this.getClass().getClassLoader()" is never null.
