There is a routine called debug() in resource
bundle which is called with debug strings. Those
strings are allocated, and loaded into the class's
constant pool, but never printed out because
debugging is turned off.

A better way to do debugging is:

    if (debug) {
         print your debugging output;
    }

where debug is declared as

    static final boolean debug = false | true;

That way the compiler deletes the code, and the
string constants, and the string allocation from
the resulting code when debugging is turned off.


This is just a suggestion. Thanks for listening.
