classloader

[Ted Neward" <ted@xxxxxxxxxx (Ted Neward)]

It's not quite that simple, Bryan; the short answer is that you can't get
around the "primordial" ClassLoader from loading all the standard classes.
There's a long answer that explains why, but I'm off to dinner and can't
take the time at the moment to explain it all out. :)

Email me privately if you're really curious to know why.
