Section "class"

 Java Class are first detected as source by the extension “.java” and then as bytecode by the extension “.class”. They are loaded asynchronously and dynamically. The convention is cur-rently that after loading the file, the Dogelog player will call a main() function of the loaded script, which needs to be present. This leads to the following idiom:

Example:
import nova.Store;

public final class bitlib {

   public static void main() {
     Store.add"<name>", <arity>, Special.make_special(<func>));
   }

}
Unlike for JavaScript and Python, we don’t have a Façade class for Java, that can be used for unqualified import of the native API. In this idiom we see qualified calls such as Store.add() etc.. The idea is again that loaded scripts have exactly these side effects and that the Dogelog player can undo register through its rollback mechanism.
