EVALUATION The DownloadManager initialization begins before the VM completes its initialization (during System.initializeSystemClass). The classes/libraries needed for VM initialization should be included in the core bundle for bootstrapping. The DownloadManager should be deferred until This issue surfaces due to the fix for 6810254. For 6u14 b05, we will putback a fix to workaround the existing DownloadManager initialization. The DownloadManager initialization has to be revisited for the next release (see 6833260)
