Will a JEP be created for general data in constant pools?
CONSTANT_Bytes - tag byte 2 CONSTANT_Group - tag byte 13
The attraction of allowing general data in constant pools, is that it may stabilise the constant pool, there have been a number of additions to the constant pool since Java 8 and this feature, while adding two more constants, reduces future need or motivation for growing the constant pool.
It's my understanding that Java 11 will be a long term support release, like Java 8. Will this be added in Java 12?
Thanks,
Peter.
