* java/net/URL.java (cache_handlers): Removed field. (static): Removed block. (getURLStreamHandler): Don't use cache_handlers anymore.
Thanks for the attempt. I'm sorry to say that it wasn't enough to resolve the problem. java.net.URLClassLoader.FileURLLoader's initializer creates a java.io.File as part of its work. But java.io.File, in turn, has a class initializer that calls System.getProperties, so the circular dependency remains. (It calls System.getProperties in order to get the value of file.separator.)
I received a suggestion in private mail from David Holmes (who's been generous with his time in discussing this with me) that we could break up the initialization of java.lang.System into two explicitly-invoked phases, and that a VM could optionally request that the initialization be broken up, based on a configuration setting. I've asked him for permission to forward the full text of his suggestion to the list. I think that is the approach we will have to take.
