I don't see how you test though, given the way you've designed your code.

Re. your previous question, "What are the alternatives?", just make an 
object that calls the methods in its ctor:

public class Lazy {

   public Lazy() {
       load();
       addShutdownHook();
   }

   private load() {
      // load database...
   }

   private addShutdownHook() {
      // add hook...
   }

}

The next thing I would do is make "load()" package private and final, 
and take a parameter for an InputStream, so I could inject some test 
vectors into it.  Stuff like that makes testing much easier and faster.
