Using an initialize-on-demand holder class permits lazy instantiation:
class MyClass {
...
private static class LazySomethingHolder {
public static final Something something = new Something();
}
...
public static Something getInstance() {
return LazySomethingHolder.something;
}
...
}
The LazySomethingHolder will be loaded - but not initialized - when MyClass is
loaded. Initialization will occur only when MyClass.getInstance() is invoked.
The necessary synchronization during initialization is all handled internally
by the JVM.
