How does Java implement String pooling? [duplicate]

by

I am sorry to disappoint you but the Java String-Pool is not an actual Java class but somewhere implemented in the JVM i.e. it is writen as C++ code.
If you look at the source code of the String class (pretty much all the way down) you see that the intern() method is native.
You will have to go through some JVM code to get more information.

Edit:
Some implementation can be found here (C++ header, C++ implementation). Search for StringTable.

Edit2: As Holger pointed out in the comments, this is not a hard requirement of the JVM implementation. So it is possible to have a JVM that implements the String Pool differently, e.g. using an actual Java class. Though all commonly used JVMs I am aware of implement it in the JVMs C++ code.
