Then, this time, I tried to move isReusePortAvailable and its native implementation declaration down to AbstractPlainSocketImpl therefore I removed the initializer block from SocketImpl.java as well. Inside AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java, there is already an initializer there by default to load the libnet.so. I was assuming it would just load the library and the code would work. However, I found out the initializer inside the AbstractPlainSocketimpl does not execute. After I add back the initializer to SocketImpl, the code works.

When you updated AbstractPlainSocketImpl then is the new initializer 
before or after the current initializer? They run in declaration order 
so I'm wondering if this is the issue you are running into.
