Taher, Thank you very much for your inputs. I was thinking to do the same to add private constructors first then do other things. But after your reply I think better to pick one class at a time, and check everything for that class which includes removing public modifiers, method and fields. Marking classes members as final and all your suggestions.
We would start picking classes one by one, and check all its references and finally make necessary changes for each class. In that way we would be able to match the classes with purpose. This is better way to fix this design flaw. Thanks! Rishi Solanki Manager, Enterprise Software Development HotWax Systems Pvt. Ltd.
