- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public ClassLoader getRootLoader()

      Iterates through the classloader parents until it finds a loader with a class named "org.codehaus.groovy.tools.RootLoader". If there is no such class `null` will be returned. The name is used for comparison because a direct comparison using == may fail as the class may be loaded through different classloaders.

      Returns:
        the rootLoader for the ClassLoader
