Not that it's particularly important, but it's /possible/ clients are relying on the non-compile time constant nature of this field causing it not to be inlined into client class files, rather than the ability to switch the version string. So it may be a good idea to add the final, but make it a non-compile time constant. We can also remove the duplication.

    public static final String fVersion = getVersion();

Hi,

This is the 2nd of the three [findbug] issues. The field fVersion is simply made final. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/jdk8/8003261/webrev/ Test: No new test needed. Thanks, Joe
