The comparable code in Nifi used a static initializer to init the classes
list.
This uses a public method, and an AtomicBoolean flag to say it's been done.
Why doesn't the initClasses() method need to be synchronized?
(BTW, I really dislike these all-static or mostly-static classes, which
seem to be trying to be singletons without engaging in the discipline of
singleton-ness, especially wrt thread safeness. But I understand they
originated in the nifi code, so I'm not after you about that :-)
