fwiw: !kernelnewbies

anyways, here you go:

all java-classes must be (apparently) registered with the runtime during
startup. so, you can either have a 

         - default constructor defined per file which does the needful
           for every class defined in that file

           or 

         - you can have the compiler store pointers to these classes
           requiring registration in a new section i.e. .jcr then you
           can have a list of pointers to classes which can be invoked
           to do the needful.

i have no experience with java (nothing very 'serious' anyways)
