I need to generate a proxy for java.util.ArrayList using the same 
classloader that java.util.ArrayList uses. The problem is that:

    ArrayList.class.getClassLoader() == null

since it is the bootstrap classloader. I can think of a few ways to get 
hold of the actual loader, but wondered if somebody knows an 
elegant/obvious way to get hold of the clasloader?
