Well, the listing 2 example didn't even compile.

But even if he did try and and he found a VM that supported it, the
behavior he describe is in clear and direct conflict with the JLS:

: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/execution.doc.html#74294

It is rare to see the JLS spend that much text on stating a point.


>I have tried with:

And I tried with IBMJava130:

  java version "1.3.0"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
  Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cn130-20001018 (JIT
  disabled))

It too only loads the Bar class once, as it should.
