Are final static variables thread safe in Java?

Question

I\'ve read around quite a bit but haven\'t found a definitive answer.

I have a class that looks like this:

    public class Foo() {

        private          


        

Answer 1

At this case only sharedData object is immmutable, that means only that all the time you will work with same object. But any data inside it can be changed (removed, added, etc) at any time, from any thread.
