How JVM loads parent classes in Java

Question

Code:

class A {
    static {
        System.out.println(\"loading A static 1\");
    }
    static {
        System.out.println(\"loading A static 2 B.c= \"+B         


        

Answer 1

You can check this by executing it with java -verbose Test:

...
[Loaded A from file:/.../src/main/java/]
[Loaded B from file:/.../src/main/java/]
loading A static 1
loading A static 2 B.c= 0
loading static 3
loading B A.a= 10
...

So no, the parent class is loaded first too.
