Loading, Linking , initialization

Hi,

A Java program is written, compiled and run. Now can anyone explain me the behind the scenes of this sequence.

Also in a class x i call some static method of someother class for ex y, will the class y will be loaded in the memory in the compile time?

Please explain or point to some resource which will help me to understand the above.

Thanks!
