[jira] [Commented] (BCEL-239) Interfaces should not be used to define constants

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14693423#comment-14693423 ] 

Sebb commented on BCEL-239:
---------------------------

Note: I've just checked, and code can update entries in a final array defined in an interface.

> Interfaces should not be used to define constants.
> This is often done as a way to save typing the name of a class that defines the constants. However using an interface pollutes any implementing classes with all the constant names, even if they are not used.
> This issue applies to
> Constants
> ExceptionConstants
> InstructionConstants
