[ros-users] rosjava and message constants

Hi,

there seems to be a problem regarding rosjava and constants in ROS messages.

Consider for example this example for a constant, taken from the ROS Wiki:

string FOO=foo

The rosjava implementation seems to turn this into something like

public static final String FOO = foo;

, omitting the quotation marks and therefore generating code that won't
compile. The C++ implementation on the other hand does add the necessary
quotes. Wouldn't be that much of a problem, but by making the generated
message work for rosjava:

string FOO="foo"

, the C++ implementation will still add the quotes, so the value of the
constant results in "\"foo\"".

kind regards
Máté
