Why should I not instantiate a string object with a constructor?

Tags:

In Java, apparently, String s = "foo" is preferred over String s = new String("foo").

Why? Isn't a new string object created in both cases? Why would the first case preclude calling a constructor?

Why?

Because the second approach results in two string objects (the original due to the string literal, plus an explicit copy).
