Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3985:
----------------------------------------
The article I referred above is a bad idea. It's actually a known anti pattern
and it's better to use [static
import|http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/guide/language/static-import.html]
> Using seperate class for constants

> Hi All,
>
> Why don't we use a separate constant class for defining constants? We can use
> Parameter Constants Design Pattern in OFBiz.
> Database fields & Form Fields can be defined in a Constant class, So that
> whenever fields name changed no need
> to search the entire code. Just need to change it in Constant class. It makes
> easy maintainable code.
>
> I am attaching a sample patch done in accounting component. In this I used a
> seperate class for a accounting specific constatns
> & a common class for OFBiz specific constants.
