Personally I'm against both types of such hacks. The current solution probably duplicates some code but it easy to understand, needs no hacks and extra support from the VMs.
I don't think the current solution is easy to understand. The library initialization bootstrapping is quite complex because many classes require access to the system properties and currently that forces java.lang.System to be touched (which in turn constructs System.in/out/err and that sets off more static initializers).
Couldn't we solve that by splitting off the dealing with properties into a static inner class of System instead?
cheers, dalibor topic
