string pool in java

  when we initialize a string reference by a string literal then the literal goes into string pool and if again another string reference is initialized by the same literal value then jvm does not create a new space for that literal , it just assigns the reference of already created literal to the new reference . string pool /literal pool is also an special purpose space on heap .

  Okay this I understood but actually what is the case when we actually write string a=new string("java"); if i already have declared the string literal java before this step as string s="java", so now is it that the java would again be created on the heap region or the previous reference of the string literal "java" would be returned to the object in heap whose reference would then be returned to variable a.

  String a = new String("java"); will instantiate an object of type string outside the string literal pool (heap space), but
  String s = "java"; if we don't use new operator for string instantiation then this object will be inside the string literal pool.
  s==a will be false

  See I am getting this but my question is that the "java" written inside new String("java") ,this string literal will be present in string pool or not..
  Meaning to say that JVM will create only one string literal "java" but it will be pointed once by the object on the heap and once by the string refernce variable s.,right or wrng??

  I am not talking about the object created through new String("java"),I am talking about the string literal "java" where will this literal be stored?

  memory allocated (or objects created ) using 'new' keyword will always be in heap .
