Ah I see - that makes more sense. May I suggest that a comment is added in InstantiateHiddenClass.java to indicate that it is also used by RegularHiddenClass which will pass the keep-alive option. Otherwise it looks very odd to expect a parameter that is seemingly not passed and for which there is no obvious reason for passing. Thanks.
