My question i

Answer 1

When you have

String str1 = new String("BlaBla");  //In the heap!
String str2 = new String("BlaBla");  //In the heap!

then you're explicitly creating a String object through new operator (and constructor). In this case you'll have each object pointing to a different storage location.

But if you have:

String str1 = "BlaBla";        
String str2 = "BlaBla";

then you've implicit construction. Two strings literals share the same storage if they have the same values, this is because Java conserves the storage of the same strings! (Strings that have the same value)
