Initialize is normally more for the first time a non-final variable gets assigned, like
public class Obj {
private int val;
public void init() {
val = Defaults.findFirstValue();
}
public void setVal(final int newval) {
val = newval;
}
}
It could even technically not be the first value assigned, if perhaps your variable is an object and it's default value is a null before the init process, though the irrelevant semantics train may have run off the rails.
