Hi Alan, Michael,
While investigating another issue I noticed that there is quite a bit of
redundant static caching of methodIDs, fieldIDs, and global references
to class objects. Most of these are for InetAddress, Inet4Address,
Inet6Address and NetworkInterface.
These classes already provide native init methods that cache a reference
to their class objects and common ID's. We should simply ensure that
this init (net_util.c) method is called and then use them. Also, all
these ID's are externally defined in net_util.h so we can use them directly.
Note:
I also cleaned up a few compiler warning in the windows code.
