'private static final String' constants vs inline constants

843829Dec 11 2007 — edited Dec 14 2007
Other than source code readability and maintainability, is there any runtime benefit from declaring String constants as 'private static final' in your code? Does this effect the way the String is stored in memory in the constant pool?

Thanks, Kevin
