use of -xbootClasspath



Hi,
Why we have to use -XBootclasspath option while starting a JVM. Is that coming into picture when the Custom classloaders are used much and forces the jvm to load the classes from the path specified in the option ,using the parent Classloader of all classloader.
And then why we need "append" and "prepend" options.
Please share ur views and knowledge.
Thanks,
kk
