Brian is correct that java has not const keyword, but incorrect that you
can't accomplish 

  void a(const char* a);

in java.  In fact, allowing for the difference between a char* and a String
object,

  void a(String a)

does exactly that.  In java all arguments are passed by value (that is, as
constant references, or "const p*".
