Re: Unable to load java/lang/Reference at boostrap

Probably it has some static initializer(s).  In bootstrap.m4.c:
...
      Initialization is done in a special way. Initialization checks
      that there is no <clinit> method.  This is a requirement SableVM
      imposes on classes internally created.

      Rationale: Initialization can possibly cause the execution of an
      arbitrary amount of bytecode in an unrestricted number of
      classes.  At bootstrapping time, though, SableVM is not yet ready
      to run arbitrary code.

      If you really need to use static initializers in such classes,
      simply put your static initializers in static inner classes;
      you'll achieve equivalent semantics while also complying with
      SableVM's "no <clinit>" requirement. *[::]/
