Remarks

Finds a class with the specified binary name, loading it if necessary.

This method loads the class through the system class loader (see #getSystemClassLoader()). The Class object returned might have more than one ClassLoader associated with it. Subclasses of ClassLoader need not usually invoke this method, because most class loaders need to override just #findClass(String).
