25 // During the development of the JDK 1.4 reflection implementation
26 // based on dynamic bytecode generation, it was hoped that the bulk of
27 // the native code for reflection could be removed. Unfortunately
28 // there is currently a significant cost associated with loading the
29 // stub classes which impacts startup time. Until this cost can be
30 // reduced, the JVM entry points JVM_InvokeMethod and
31 // JVM_NewInstanceFromConstructor are still needed; these and their
32 // dependents currently constitute the bulk of the native code for
33 // reflection. If this cost is reduced in the future, the
34 // NativeMethodAccessorImpl and NativeConstructorAccessorImpl classes
35 // can be removed from sun.reflect and all of the code guarded by this
36 // flag removed from the product build. (Non-product builds,
37 // specifically the "optimized" target, would retain the code so they
38 // could be dropped into earlier JDKs for comparative benchmarking.)
