Not exactly. The Ant classloader will (unless its arm is twisted) defer to
the system classloader in all cases. Therefore, if a class can be found on
the System classpath, then that's the classloader that loads it.
That is apparently the preferred-by-Sun behavior for a class loader.

Well, you can modify the class itself to dump out the class name of its
classloader, which is kinda the same thing. Kinda.
