Lets assume following classes definition:
public class A {
public final static String SOME_VALUE;
static {
SOME_VALUE = "some.value";
}
}
public class B {
private final String value = A.SOME_VALUE;
}
Assuming that the class A hasn't been loaded yet, what does happen when object of the class B is instantiated by some thread T? The class A has to be loaded and instantiated first. But my question is: if it's done in context of the thread T, or rather in context of some other (special) "classloader" thread?
