21   * CallerSensitive, it will load the native library into its caller's {@link ClassLoader}.

23   * and it should be as simple as possible. It will be injected into the native library's
24   * ClassLoader when it is undefined. And therefore, when the defined new helper is invoked,
25   * the native library would be loaded into the native library's ClassLoader, not the
26   * caller's ClassLoader.
