Effective Java 2nd: "Item 19: Use interfaces only to define types When a class implements an interface, the interface serves as a type that can be used to refer to instances of the class. That a class implements an interface should therefore say something about what a client can do with instances of the class. It is inappropriate to define an interface for any other purpose. One kind of interface that fails this test is the so-called constant interface." eliminate org.apache.abdera2.common.Constants is such a Constants interface. Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
