Hi,

They are useful as documentation on the interface to native, making them static would be constructive.

Thanks, Roger

Hello.
I recently found a couple of unused constants in
java.lang.ProcessHandleImpl class.
They seem to serve only documentation purposes. I'm I right?
If so, I think it's better to remove them or at least make them static.


/* The start time should match any value.
  * Typically, this is because the OS can not supply it.
  * The process is known to exist but not the exact start time.
  */
private final long STARTTIME_ANY = 0L;

/* The start time of a Process that does not exist. */
private final long STARTTIME_PROCESS_UNKNOWN = -1;
