You are looking for something called the singleton pattern. Take a look at
http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~croft/research/java/pattern/
(or do your own search :)
Keep in mind if you use the first Singleton.java that you need to
Class.forName() or otherwise initialise the class so it makes it into the
VM in the first place.
