Re: [e4-dev] UIEvents.buildTopics() deprecated

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Ed pointed you to me one small draw back of this. You can't use this
constant in the Java 7 String switch but I really don't think those
Strings are meant in switches.

The even worse thing is that you can't use them in annotation because of
the same reason. So to avoid inlining makes no sense at all.
