Does class method and class variable belongs to class object in java?
<p>Below two points are mentioned in java doc:</p>

<ol>
<li>"Class objects are constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine as classes are loaded and by calls to the defineClass method in the class loader</li>
<li>Every instance of the class shares a class variable, which is in one fixed location in memory. Any object can change the value of a class variable, but class variables can also be manipulated without creating an instance of the class.</li>
</ol>

<p>My question is: Does class method and class variable belong to "java.lang.class" object in java?</p>
