Terminology alert: you're confusing the boot class loader with the system class loader, and have erroneously labeled the actual boot class loader as "primordial". Generally speaking, the boot class loader is responsible for extracting JRE classes from rt.jar (and others that come with the JRE), while the system class loader deals with those specified by the java.class.path setting (CLASSPATH for those still stuck on environment variables). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
