Method calls inside a Java class

Question

I was setting out to write a piece of code today in Eclipse, and I started out like so:

public class MyClass {
    System.currentTimeMillis();
}
         


        

Answer 1

Try this way:

public class MyClass {
    static {
        System.currentTimeMillis();
    }
}

If you call System.currentTimeMillis() inside a static statement it works. The static block will be called when the class "MyClass" is loaded by the class loader.
