I want to know how Java linker works. Specifically, in which order it combines classes, interfaces, packages, methods and etc into jvm-executable format. I have found some information here, but there is not so much information about linking order.
There is no such thing as a Java “linker”. There is, however, the concept of a classloader which – given an array of java byte codes from “somewhere” – can create an internal representation of a Class which can then be used with
newetc.In this scenario interfaces are just special classes. Methods and fields are available when the class has been loaded.
