Hi...

I was just wondering if it was possible to use javac -J-Dname=value to
get compile-time constants into code, perhaps with annotations or
something?

For example, I'm trying to get something like

public class foo
{
  public static String compiledBy=@builder;
...
}

or the like - getting a compile-time constant to be a referencable
quantity in .class.

Or is runtime preference or properties the only way to do it?

Thanks
