[OT] ClassLoaders in Java 9+

[Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net>]

All,

I ran into a situation where having a null parent ClassLoader appears to 
have no visibility outside of the core Java platform packages. This is 
expected, as confirmed by this bug report:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8161269

If I want my custom ClassLoader to be able to see, for example, the 
classes in the java.sql module, I think I want to use the "platform 
class loader" as the parent instead of null.

Does that sound correct? Or should it be the system class loader? Or a 
different one altogether?

Thanks,
-chris
