 * This class is necessary to break the following cyclic dependency:
 * <ol>
 * <li>JNI_OnLoad
 * <li>JNI Calls FindClass because RegisterNatives (used to register JNI methods) requires a class
 * <li>FindClass loads the class, but static members variables of that class attempt to call a JNI method which has not
 * yet been registered.</li>
 * <li>java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError is thrown because native method has not yet been registered.
 * </ol>
 * Static members which call JNI methods must not be declared in this class!
