Is there a reason to ever use Constants instead of Messages?

Question

I want to internationlize my GWT application. After reading the docs, I can't see a reason to ever use Constants instead of Messages. Messages seem to be more powerful in every regard.

Is there any reason to ever use constants? Do they have better performance or any other advantage over Messages?

Answer 1

Messages is only about strings, while Constants can contain numbers, booleans, arrays of strings, etc.
