A simple class

I have a question:

A simple class:

If I run this from command prompt can someone tell me how many classes are loaded before this class is run? We can consider JDK 1.4 and also JDK 1.5.

Thanks in advance.

That's very hard to say, there is no simple way to find this out. To find out, try running the program with a profiler, which might be able to show you this information. JDK 1.5 contained a simple profiling tool, JConsole, and JDK 1.6 contains a more sophisticated tool, JVisualVM.

Not a "beginning" question. Moving thread.

Wont debugging in Eclipse give a rough idea?

No

Jesper's advice about JConsole will help.

Or simply run "java -verbose Main".

Rob,

As you said I tried and it gave me a list of classes as being loaded.
The packages that the class belonged to were, java.land, java.io,sun.reflect,java.util,java.security, sun.misc....and lots more...
I understand some of them are the default packages and so they are loaded.

Thanks for the help.

I never knew about -verbose
