Works fine for me under 1.5.0_14 (and other levels).  Since your example
code is chock full of syntactic and semantic errors, you might want to
correct those first and publish actual code.

Here's what ran for me:

package myPackage;
class Foo {
  private static int a;
  static { a = 100; }
  Foo() { }
  public String toString() { return Integer.toString(a); }
}

package myPackage;
public class FooMain {
  static public void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println(Class.forName("myPackage.Foo").newInstance());
  }
}
