As the output shows, the recommended “indent” approach prevents inlining of the constant variables and allows the updated Constants.java constants to be fully reflected in the executed code.

Computed constants offer the performance and safety benefits of final fields, but greater flexibility in the timing of initialization, the proposal states.

The reason why global constants in Java use the static and final keywords is because final ensures a variable cannot change, while static ensures only one copy of the constant variable is placed in ...
