      The AppContext class holds the strong reference to the context class loader even if it is not needed anymore.
      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Create custom class loader
      2. Set it is as a context loader of the current thread
      3. Create a class object from this class loader
      4. Call any method that creates an AppContext instance
         For example, java.awt.Window.getWindows()
      5. Replace a context loader with another one
      6. Ensure that class could not be collected by GC.
