How to supply value to an annotation from a Constant java

by

Compile constants can only be primitives and Strings:

15.28. Constant Expressions

A compile-time constant expression is an expression denoting a value of primitive type or a String that does not complete abruptly and is composed using only the following:

  • Literals of primitive type and literals of type String
  • Casts to primitive types and casts to type String
  • […] operators […]
  • Parenthesized expressions whose contained expression is a constant expression.
  • Simple names that refer to constant variables.
  • Qualified names of the form TypeName . Identifier that refer to constant variables.

Actually in java there is no way to protect items in an array. At runtime someone can always do FieldValues.FIELD1[0]="value3", therefore the array cannot be really constant if we look deeper.
