Parent-first loading has been the standard mechanism in the JDK class loader, at least since Java 1.2 introduced hierarchical classloaders. - The primary reason for this is safety -- parent-first - makes it impossible for malicious code to trick the JVM into - replacing a core class (say, java.security.SecurityManager) with a - class of the same name loaded from a child classloader.
