[INACTIVE] Avian is a lightweight virtual machine and class library designed to provide a useful subset of Java's features, suitable for building self-contained applications.
In afbd4ff30303f6f205895d86e752f493b4a91e3c, I made a low-risk, but very specific fix for a more general problem: "bootstrap" classes (i.e. classes which the VM has built-in knowledge of) need to be loaded from the classpath before any of their methods are called. Based on recent testing, I see there are more cases than I previously thought where we try to call methods on "unloaded" bootstrap classes, so we need a more general solution to the problem, preferably one that does so lazily so we don't have to load the class just because an instance is created (but no method is called)
