Does this mean "" == ""?

  No, string deduplication takes place in the internal String char array. Each String will still have it's own object.

    Not according to the article: > In fact the String Deduplication is almost like interning with the exception that interning reuses the whole String instance, not just the char array.

      I think that might mean the opposite of what you think it does. Interning reuses whole String instances. Deduplication is like interning with the exception that it does not reuse the whole String instance, it just reuses the char array. Therefore surely deduplication does not reuse String instances.

  No, but that should be true anyway as they are string literals and automatically interned.
