I need to include about 1 MByte of data in a Java application, for very fast and easy access in the rest of the source code. My main background is not Java, so my initial idea was to convert the data directly to Java source code, defining 1MByte of constant arrays, classes (instead of C++ struct) etc., something like this:

public final/immutable/const MyClass MyList[] = { 
  { 23012, 22, "Hamburger"} , 
  { 28375, 123, "Kieler"}
};

However, it seems that Java does not support such constructs. Is this correct? If yes, what is the best solution to this problem?
