Example 1: custom classloader
loader name---- sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader

*********Inside getClass*********
Name of Filetest\frugalis\Frugalis.class
<<<<<<<<<Inside loadClassData>>>>>>
Size of byte array 519
Class Loading Started for java.lang.Object
Loaded class name: test.frugalis.Frugalis
Class Loading Started for java.lang.System
Class Loading Started for java.io.PrintStream
Welcome Frugalis Minds
