public sealed interface ConstantPoolBuilder
extends ConstantPoolPREVIEW, WritableElementPREVIEW<ConstantPoolPREVIEW>

ConstantPoolBuilder is a preview API of the Java platform.

Programs can only use ConstantPoolBuilder when preview features are enabled.

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

Builder for the constant pool of a classfile. Provides read and write access to the constant pool that is being built. Writing is append-only and idempotent (entry-bearing methods will return an existing entry if there is one). A ConstantPoolBuilder^PREVIEW is associated with a ClassBuilder^PREVIEW. The ConstantPoolBuilder^PREVIEW also provides access to some of the state of the ClassBuilder^PREVIEW, such as classfile processing options.
