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

Actually, if you remove the final keyword the constants stop being compile-time constants and then your configuration will work like you want.

However, it is strongly suggested that if this is indeed some sort of configuration you are trying to do, you should move to to a more manageable way than constants in some class file.
