ConstantValueAttribute is a preview API of the Java platform.

Programs can only use ConstantValueAttribute when preview features are enabled.

Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.

Models the ConstantValue attribute (JVMS 4.7.2), which can appear on fields and indicates that the field's value is a constant. Delivered as a FieldElement^PREVIEW when traversing the elements of a FieldModel^PREVIEW.

The attribute does not permit multiple instances in a given location. Subsequent occurrence of the attribute takes precedence during the attributed element build or transformation.
