 * an <a href="ManagementFactory.html#MXBean">MXBean
 * that can be obtained by calling
 * the {@link ManagementFactory#getClassLoadingMXBean} method or
 * from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
 * platform <tt>MBeanServer}.
 *
 * <p>The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
 * the class loading system within an <tt>MBeanServer is:
 * <blockquote>
 * {@link ManagementFactory#CLASS_LOADING_MXBEAN_NAME
 *        <tt>java.lang:type=ClassLoading}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * It can be obtained by calling the
 * {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
