native vs class Classes

Thu Nov 25 19:19:00 GMT 2004

Hi,
I have a question:
When you load a class from a natively compiled java program by doing:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
It loads the .class file -- from the classpath.
How about all the classes that are referenced in that class? does it
need to load them too? Or can it look them up in the natively compiled
library (I mean mostly the standard classes that are in libgcj.so)?
Does someone have some documentation on how class loading works in
libgcj somewhere?
Thank you,
