Sounds like it. The poinit was to have non -  null Classloader for all 
classes.

This is not the point. java.* classes must always be loaded by the 
bootstrap loader, as I understand an instance of 
java.lang.VMClassLoader. Not any other arbitrary one.
This loader is by definition (being the bootstrap loader) not loader by 
any other ClassLoader, but by the JVM, or in other words a mechanism 
outside the java spec.
