Description

Interfaces should not be used to define constants.

This is often done as a way to save typing the name of a class that defines the constants. However using an interface pollutes any implementing classes with all the constant names, even if they are not used.

This issue applies to
Constants
ExceptionConstants
InstructionConstants
