Both statements accomplish the same thing - they both create a string object. The first statement creates the string by presenting a String Literal. When the complier encounters a String Literal in the code, it creates a String Object with the value presented in the quotes. See - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/strings.html. Based on the foregoing, I don't believe there is a difference in memory usage. I'll keep looking into it to see if there is anything I'm missing.
