Class ClassInitializer

ClassInitializer

public class ClassInitializer
extends Object

This utility class allows for initialization of all classes at startup to avoid initialization delays at an innapropriate time.

Note: Users might want to disable logging when initializing run-time classes at start-up because of the presence of old classes (never used) in the jar files for which initialization fails. For example:

     public static main(String[] args) {
         LogContext.enter(LogContext.NULL); // Temporarely disables logging errors and warnings.
         try { 
             ClassInitializer.initializeAll();  // Initializes bootstrap, extensions and classpath classes.
         } finally {
             LogContext.exit(LogContext.NULL); // Goes back to default logging.
         }
         ...
     }
