When I execute javap java.lang.Object on the command line, it gives me the class structure which has all the available methods of Object class along with this block:

static {
    registerNatives();
}

What is the use of this static block in java.lang.Object class?

@Tunaki - Yes I am not able to understand what does `registerNatives();` do and why is that called in a static block – Arijit Dasgupta Oct 07 '15 at 15:33
