Hi,
indy eagerly creates and initializes all integral type caches
(Byte$ByteCache, Short$ShortCache) which has a small, measurable
impact to jake startup and footprint. Exposing ZERO constants from Byte,
Character, etc which are guaranteed to be identical to what's
returned from each respective valueOf(0) enables j.l.i. to initialize
without eagerly creating these caches:
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8141678/webrev.01
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8141678
Making these constants public would allow us to not fetch them via
reflection for a tiny, incremental startup improvement, but I don't
think the constants carry their own weight to motivate them becoming
part of public API.
Testing: verified startup/footprint improvement, various jtreg tests
