Try these first

1. 1.

   What does the Bootstrap ClassLoader load?

   Hint

   Think about foundational classes needed for Java to run.

2. 2.

5. 5.

   Describe a scenario where class loader conflict might occur and how it affects JVM performance.

   Hint

   Think about versioning in libraries.

6. 6.

   How would you go about troubleshooting a memory leak caused by a class loader leak?

   Hint
