associate a persistent generated class implementation with this interpreter . an associated class will be used in lieu of generating bytecode when a scripted class of the same name is encountered . when such a class is defined in the script it will cause the associated existing class implementation to be initialized ( with the static initializer field ) . this is utilized by the persistent class generator to allow a generated class to bootstrap an interpreter and rendesvous with its implementation script . class associations currently last for the life of the class manager .
