Cameron,
I was simply passing on some very good advice from Effective Java (Joshua
Bloch): "Item 4: Avoid creating duplicate objects"
String s = new String("silly"); // DON'T DO THIS!
The correct version being:
String s = "No longer silly";
Effective Java is an excellent book - I highly recommend it.
Cheers,
Scott
