Pascal case is XxxxXxxxXxxx. Camel case at least when compared to pascal case is xxxxXxxxXxxx. Java convention is pascal case for type names and camel case for member names. Which is probably why Stefan asked. But some of those were static final also known as const so they should really have been all uppercase with underscore aka XXXX_XXXX_XXXX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PascalCase Arne

`static final` is not a synonym for "constant" in Java. `final` is necessary but not sufficient to declare a constant variable. `static` is neither necessary nor sufficient to declare a constant variable. While the core Java naming conventions do call for constant variables as defined in the JLS to have all upper-case names with underscores, it is an acceptable extension to so name `final` variables that point to immutable instances. Those aren't always constants per the JLS, but they're constant enough.
