'Cannot init the Global object' error after adding a final static constant to Global class

I'm using Play Framework 2.2.3 with Java.

I just add a constant to my Global class:

public static final String VERSION = play.application().configuration().getString("application.version");

Then I get this error:

play.api.PlayException: Cannot init the Global object[null]

Before my app was working fine. If I put this constant in any other class, my app is working fine. Only if I put it in Global I get this error. Any help?

As in this issue pointed out, if you want to access the configuration during application startup, you should use the onStart method.
