The initial sequence of execution for a java application
843798Jan 8 2010 — edited Jan 12 2010What's the sequence of events after the java launcher is invoked?
Best I've found is what http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html says:
"The java tool launches a Java application. It does this by starting a Java runtime environment, loading a specified class, and invoking that class's main method ... The Java runtime searches for the startup class, and other classes used, in three sets of locations: the bootstrap class path, the installed extensions, and the user class path."
I'm writing a paper about this topic and would like to be more detailed and specific. A couple of lines or a link to related material is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
