Strange. The JLS says:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-12.html#jls-12.4
"A class or interface type T will be initialized immediately before the first occurrence of any one of the following:
 - T is a class and an instance of T is created.
 - T is a class and a static method declared by T is invoked.
 - A static field declared by T is assigned.
 - A static field declared by T is used and the field is not a constant variable (§4.12.4).
 - T is a top level class (§7.6), and an assert statement (§14.10) lexically nested within T (§8.1.3) is executed."

So that contradicts.
