Hi Peter,

I think this idea / discussion is probably better suited to the valhalla-dev mailing list. It might be worth fleshing our your proposal a bit as well before bringing it there.

Cheers, Martijn

Will a JEP be created for general data in constant pools?

CONSTANTBytes - tag byte 2 CONSTANTGroup - 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.
