  /*
   * The Finalizer thread keeps a phantom reference to this object. When the
   * client (ReferenceMap, for example) no longer has a strong reference to
   * this object, the garbage collector will reclaim it and enqueue the
   * phantom reference. The enqueued reference will trigger the Finalizer to
   * stop.
   *
   * If this library is loaded in the system class loader,
   * FinalizableReferenceQueue can load Finalizer directly with no problems.
   *
   * If this library is loaded in an application class loader, it's important
   * that Finalizer not have a strong reference back to the class loader.
   * Otherwise, you could have a graph like this:
   *
   * Finalizer Thread
   *   runs instance of -> Finalizer.class
   *     loaded by -> Application class loader
   *       which loaded -> ReferenceMap.class
   *         which has a static -> FinalizableReferenceQueue instance
   *
   * Even if no other references to classes from the application class loader
   * remain, the Finalizer thread keeps an indirect strong reference to the
   * queue in ReferenceMap, which keeps the Finalizer running, and as a result,
   * the application class loader can never be reclaimed.
   *
   * This means that dynamically loaded web applications and OSGi bundles can't
   * be unloaded.
   *
   * If the library is loaded in an application class loader, we try to break
   * the cycle by loading Finalizer in its own independent class loader:
   *
   * System class loader
   *   -> Application class loader
   *     -> ReferenceMap
   *     -> FinalizableReferenceQueue
   *     -> etc.
   *   -> Decoupled class loader
   *     -> Finalizer
   *
   * Now, Finalizer no longer keeps an indirect strong reference to the
   * static FinalizableReferenceQueue field in ReferenceMap. The application
   * class loader can be reclaimed at which point the Finalizer thread will
   * stop and its decoupled class loader can also be reclaimed.
   *
   * If any of this fails along the way, we fall back to loading Finalizer
   * directly in the application class loader.
