Currently there is no easy way to reference constants from a class in Facelet (JSF) environment. The solution would be a tag library which would be able to "import" the constants into the page context.

The new tag will have the following example usage:

<aui:importConstants var="JavaConstants" classType="com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.JavaConstants" />
<h:outputText value="JavaConstants.JAVAX_PORTLET_TITLE=#{JavaConstants.JAVAX_PORTLET_TITLE}" />
