I encountered this bit of code in a project I am working on:
static{
load();
}
It is declared like a method in a class, and I tried to google about it but came up empty. When is load called? The class only contains static variables and methods.

When the classloader first loads the class containing that block. The class will be first loaded when an instance of that class is first created or when any static member of that class is first called.
