> started/taskDate should be final, but it caused a problem to me in doing unit test that a huge number of LinkTask are to be created with different started date
> my suggestion:
> 1. make started non-final
> 2. add a constructor 
> by design, the 2nd one is better. but in terms of maintainability, it's better not to add too many constructors. 
> The HttpCore design has some examples (http header of response?! sth like that) that final attributes are not necessarily be made as final/immune. I suggest just to make the started field non-final.
