null ClassLoader

Yes, but it hasn't been implemented. Why ? Such a small thing.

But this is not a very relevant question. Anything in the java* 
namespace is loaded by the bootstrap loader. It says that in the spec.

But try the more interesting:

public class T {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.println(T.class.getClassLoader());
   }
}

I only found an old 1.1 jdk that returned null on that. All newer 
(1.2/3/4) sun and ibm jdk's return a value.
