I always was wondering why filling large lookup tables is done by static java code in the class. Wouldn't it be more clever, to load the lookup table content from a binary resource file? Then we must not bother to initialize tables by static fake strings to save bytecode footprint. The same thoughts would apply to the charset mappings in sun.nio.charset classes.
