This method acts equivalently to invoking
<code>Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(className);</code> but it also
supports primitive types and array classes of object types or primitive types.

@param className    the qualified name of the class or the name of primitive type or
array in the same format as returned by the
<code>java.lang.Class.getName()</code> method.
@return             the Class object for the requested className

@throws ClassNotFoundException when the <code>classLoader</code> can not find the requested class
