I don't have the credentials to offer an opinion on how Stripes should
handle this, but if I were faced with this problem:
1) I've got a handy EL function called "constants" that, given a Class
or a class name, returns a Map<String, Object> of the public static
final fields of the class.
2) Using that, I'd just write a JSTL loop to spit out the options,
something like this
<c:set var='GPA' value='${t:constants("foo.bar.GPA")}'/>
<c:forEach var='grade' items='${t:entries(GPA)}'>
<option value='${grade.key}'>${grade.value.gpa}</option>
</c:forEach>
That said, my personal feeling is that the "gpa" strings would be
better off in a message catalog anyway.
