Description
Submitted by Roman Kennke:
-----------------------------
In the current implementation, a GraphicsEnvironment can only be loaded by the
bootclassloader. It would be nice to be able to load a GE from the system
classloader as well. The attached patch implements this. There's also an (old)
Sun bug:

I don't see any negative implications with this, but it would help me alot for
working with Cacio or other ports of Java2D to crazy platforms. I know that I
can put my GE in the bootclasspath, but then I also need to put my native libs
in JDK's lib folder etc, which is quite annoying.
