Please add the following method to gnu/classpath/VMStackWalker.java and
use that.

/**
 * Returns the first user defined class loader on the call stack, or
 * null when no non-null class loader was found.
 */
public static ClassLoader getUserClassLoader()
{
    Class[] ctx = getClassContext();
    for (int i = 0; i < ctx.length; i++)
    {
        // Since we live in a class loaded by the bootstrap
        // class loader, getClassLoader is safe to call without
        // needing to be wrapped in a privileged action.
        ClassLoader cl = ctx[i].getClassLoader();
        if (cl != null)
              return cl;
    }
    return null;
}
