Hello,
Got a problem here:

Package1 - contains a class which contains static member data.

Package2 - imports and references Package1, modifying the static data.

Finally, I have an application which imports Package1 in class1 and Package2
in class2. class1 and class2 are public existing in different source files.

-class1 - imports Package1 and creates an object whose class exists in
Package1, the  object's constructor then modifes the static data
-class2 - imports Package2 and invokes a method therein which in turn
invokes a method in Package1 that reads the static data.

The problem is that in the final step mentioned above, the static data it
reads seems to be different than what was originally modified. Are there two
copies of the statics hanging around here? If so, how do I force only one
static instance (I thought this was the whole point of statics anyway).

any help would be greatly appreciated,
Vince
