How are you declaring and referencing it?

Note that there are no truly global constants in Java. It will be
declared in some class, call it field X in class SomeClass.

Assuming X is declared as public static final int in class SomeClass.
You can reference it, assuming you can reference SomeClass, as
"SomeClass.X".

If you want to avoid qualifying X with the class name, look into "import
static".
