ExceptionInInitializerErroron WebSphere 9 (on Ubuntu) when trying to start an application that uses Calcite (shaded) library. The exception message reads:

As we can see there is a NPE in [SqlCallBinding:60|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/2e9edae7fc57ab9c9c7c097008724ac99a1791a3/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/SqlCallBinding.java#L60], when it tries to call a method on SqlStdOperatorTable.DEFAULT, which seems to be null.

According to the logs, what I think is happening is a circular dependency issue when classes get loaded (more details in first comment).
However, so far I have only seen this error in WebSphere, in other environments the same application is correctly initialized and launched, and this exception does not happen.
Since WebSphere uses IBM's own JVM, my hypothesis is that its class loader follows a different (and unlucky) order to load Calcite classes.
