For java code, use final so that you have constants.

Note these are only constant pointers. Your data is still mutable if the underlying data structure is mutable, (e.g. HashMap). Haven't used Java in a few years, but I made religious use of final, even in locals and params.

Good point regarding mutable data. But since we were talking about loglevels, I don't think it's a problem there.
