Java keywords

[Fox Hu]

A common question is " Which are valid Java keywords ? "
But if true,false,null are listed should I choose them ?

[Nett Man]

true,false and null are literals, not keywords.

Although they are literals,
on the exam, you can choose them as keywords

The published Sun objectives state:

Identify all Java programming language keywords. Note: There will not be any questions regarding esoteric distinctions between keywords and manifest constants.

When in doubt - look at the published objectives.

Still true, false, null are not listed as keywords in the Java lang spec. Are they a valid answer or not?

Willian has quoted the objectives of the exam.
Anyway, if they were to appear in the exam, I would stay with JLS: they are not keywords. In order to remember this, recall that they are values that can be assigned to variables.
