Hi all,

during development I ran into a problem and I had to dig a bit deeper to 
find the root cause. Perhaps someone can explain why this happens.

I use GWT 2.7. And I have a class with some constants. For example 
something like this:

public class MyConstants {

  public static final String SPECIAL_MARKER = "marker";

}

Now I try to use this in a JSNI method in another class, for example in 
this way:

...
public static native void doSomethingWithMarker() /*-{
   var cm = @my.package.MyConstants::SPECIAL_MARKER 
   $wnd.alert(cm);
}-*/;

...

In classic dev mode and in the compiled version this is working. In 
SuperDevMode cm is undefined. 

Now, I remove the final and voila, it even works in SuperDevMode.
So obviously the final is a problem. But why is it working in classic and 
compiled mode? Is this simply a bug or is there a better way to use such 
constants?

Cheers,
Norbert
