Description

The fragment:

@Lazy static Type myField

is transformed into a static private field $myField but an instance method getMyField(). The method should be static and in the case of synchronization, would need to synch on the class not 'this'. But there is also a question as to whether double checked locking is best for static, perhaps holder class idiom is better.
