TRUNK-5033 Help Needed

Hello. I am currently working on TRUNK-5033, and I need some help/guidance. The issue, TRUNK-5033, has me changing multiple variables to final, but many of these variables are being changed in other classes. Do these variables need to be constant, or could I just make them private and write some get/set methods?

According to your ticket information, you should only change the static constants to static final constants. You don’t need to declare any constants or change existing variables to constants in those classes.
