[dacapobench-researchers] Why is system class loader parent of the DacapoClassLoader?

[Andreas S. <se...@st...>]

Hi all,

can someone explain to me why the DacapoClassLoader has the system class 
loader (aka application class loader) as its parent? That way the 
benchmark application "sees" classes needed by the harness, e.g., those 
of the commons-cli library. This is a problem if the benchmark requires 
a different version of the library.

Best wishes,

Andreas
