Where to declare global constants?

[oh_crap]

Hi;

If I have a project with a few java files and I want to declare a constant variable that all classes will have access to it, where do I write:

public static final int ROWS = 8;

thanks

You put your code in any of public classes.

// example

public class Test {
    // a public static field
    public static final int ROWS = 8;
    public Test() {}
}

public class AppStart {
    public static void main() {
        System.out.println (Test.ROWS);
    }
}

Define a Constants interface and put all your constants which are shared by other classes. If that constant is specific to the class you are writing then store it in that class/interface itself.
