So it really hinges on: are we guaranteed that all existing compiled classes that referenced the previous version of UIEvents.UIElement.VISIBLE would have had the string inlined? I believe the Java compilers inline static final string references. But I don't know if they *have* to, nor as to whether there are any that don't. Anybody know the applicable part of the JLS?
