You could use class inheritance as well as interface inheritance, don't you? Or could interfaces have multiple parents while classes could not? [i'm not friend of multiple inheritance anyway]
I tried to redesign it (mainly to test whether this interface usage does problems to gcj or not - seems

Not to mention how disgusting it makes your code to have to do
TheClassName.BLA_BLA in every method call when BLA_BLA is sufficient.
Makes for long unnecessary line lengths. Using the interface is the
best simulation of name spaces combined with defines.

This is indeed common usage. You'll need it if you want to specify an
interface that does not only define methods but also some constants that

Hi all,
I'm a language purist so take me with a pinch of salt [I found this in dictionary so
hope it fits ;-)]
Why are you using this contruct?:
interface ABC {
final static int C1 = 1;
}
class DEF implements ABC
{
... using C1 constant...
}
Is this common use of interfaces in Ja
