-XX:[+|-]ClassRelationshipVerifier

This option enables or disables the recording of class relationships in the verifier to delay validation until triggered by class loading.

Note: You cannot use this setting in conjunction with -Xfuture or -Xverify:all, which itself enables -Xfuture.

Syntax

    -XX:[+|-]ClassRelationshipVerifier
Setting Effect Default
-XX:+ClassRelationshipVerifier Enable
-XX:-ClassRelationshipVerifier Disable yes

Explanation

When enabled, this option delays validating the relationships between classes until the classes are required to be loaded during program execution. In this way, classes that are not required, are never loaded thus reducing VM startup time.

A verify error is thrown if validation fails.
