      java.lang.ClassLoader has an API note in its constructors that specify the parent class loader:

      "If the parent is specified as null (for the bootstrap class loader) then there is no guarantee that all platform classes are visible."

      It would be useful to repeat this warning/note in the URLClassLoader constructors that take a parent parameter.
