Here is an example:

(generated code)

  @Deprecated
  public static final String TITLE_PROPERTY = "title";
  public static final Property<String> TITLE = new Property<String>("title");

(accessing property name in a new way)

  TITLE.getName();

But the point of the new API is to replace code like this:

  Expression exp = ExpressionFactory.matchExp(Product.IS_DISABLED_PROPERTY, 
false);

with this:

  Expression exp = Product.IS_DISABLED.isFalse();

Which does not require knowing the property name. IIRC 4.0 tutorial has other 
examples of expressions using the new API.
