Use code snippet below. When trying to extract "bar" + "baz" as a constant, Eclipse says that's not possible because "it is not a valid static constant". Inlining "foo" makes it work. ========================================== public class ExtractConstantBug { void method() { String foo = "foo"; String string = foo + "/" + // Select "bar" + "baz" and do Refactor > Extract Constant "bar" + "baz"; } }
