Static initializers are executed when the class is initialized. See
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/classes.html#8.7

When a class is initialized is described in detail in
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/execution.html#12.4.1

Simply referring to HomePage.class will not initialize the class.
