Replace duplicate `String` literalsReplaces `String` literals with a length of 5 or greater repeated a minimum of 3 times. Qualified `String` literals include final Strings, method invocations, and new class invocations. Adds a new `private static final String` or uses an existing equivalent class field. A new variable name will be generated based on the literal value if an existing field does not exist. The generated name will append a numeric value to the variable name if a name already exists in the compilation unit. Centralizing repeated string values into constants makes refactoring safer and reduces the risk of inconsistent updates.
