| | The Java class file lifestyle |
 | | In their order of appearance in the class file, the major components are: magic, version, constant pool, access flags, this class, super class, interfaces, fields, methods, and attributes. |
 | | Information stored in the class file often varies in length -- that is, the actual length of the information cannot be predicted before loading the class file. |
 | | These numbers identify the version of the class file format to which a particular class file adheres and allow JVMs to verify that the class file is loadable. |
