Hi Alan, Michael,

While investigating another issue I noticed that there is quite a bit of redundant static caching of methodIDs, fieldIDs, and global references to class objects. Most of these are for InetAddress, Inet4Address, Inet6Address and NetworkInterface.

These classes already provide native init methods that cache a reference to their class objects and common ID's. We should simply ensure that this init (net_util.c) method is called and then use them. Also, all these ID's are externally defined in net_util.h so we can use them directly.

Note: I also cleaned up a few compiler warning in the windows code.

6922151: Cleanup static caching of method/fieldIDs and unnecessary global references

Thanks, -Chris.
