Are all compile-time constants inlined?

Question

Let\'s say I have a class like this:

class ApplicationDefs{
public static final String configOption1 = \"some option\";
public static final String configOpti         


        

Answer 1

No. You could replace them with a static method call, though, like:

class ApplicationDefs {

    public static String configOption1() { return "some option"; }

}

Granted, it’s not beautiful but it would fulfill your requirement. :)
