/**
 * The ClassLoader is a way of customizing the way Java gets its classes
 * and loads them into memory.  The verifier and other standard Java things
 * still run, but the ClassLoader is allowed great flexibility in determining
 * where to get the classfiles and when to load and resolve them. For that
 * matter, a custom ClassLoader can perform on-the-fly code generation or
 * modification!
 *
 * <p>Every classloader has a parent classloader that is consulted before
 * the 'child' classloader when classes or resources should be loaded.
 * This is done to make sure that classes can be loaded from an hierarchy of
 * multiple classloaders and classloaders do not accidentially redefine
 * already loaded classes by classloaders higher in the hierarchy.
 *
 * <p>The grandparent of all classloaders is the bootstrap classloader, which
 * loads all the standard system classes as implemented by GNU Classpath. The
 * other special classloader is the system classloader (also called
 * application classloader) that loads all classes from the CLASSPATH
 * (<code>java.class.path</code> system property). The system classloader
 * is responsible for finding the application classes from the classpath,
 * and delegates all requests for the standard library classes to its parent
 * the bootstrap classloader. Most programs will load all their classes
 * through the system classloaders.
 *
 * <p>The bootstrap classloader in GNU Classpath is implemented as a couple of
 * static (native) methods on the package private class
 * <code>java.lang.VMClassLoader</code>, the system classloader is an
 * instance of <code>gnu.java.lang.SystemClassLoader</code>
 * (which is a subclass of <code>java.net.URLClassLoader</code>).
 *
 * <p>Users of a <code>ClassLoader</code> will normally just use the methods
 * <ul>
 *  <li> <code>loadClass()</code> to load a class.</li>
 *  <li> <code>getResource()</code> or <code>getResourceAsStream()</code>
 *       to access a resource.</li>
 *  <li> <code>getResources()</code> to get an Enumeration of URLs to all
 *       the resources provided by the classloader and its parents with the
 *       same name.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Subclasses should implement the methods
 * <ul>
 *  <li> <code>findClass()</code> which is called by <code>loadClass()</code>
 *       when the parent classloader cannot provide a named class.</li>
 *  <li> <code>findResource()</code> which is called by
 *       <code>getResource()</code> when the parent classloader cannot provide
 *       a named resource.</li>
 *  <li> <code>findResources()</code> which is called by
 *       <code>getResource()</code> to combine all the resources with the
 *       same name from the classloader and its parents.</li>
 *  <li> <code>findLibrary()</code> which is called by
 *       <code>Runtime.loadLibrary()</code> when a class defined by the
 *       classloader wants to load a native library.</li>
 * </ul>
