Description

formats.jpeg.iptc.IPTCConstants contains the following public static final arrays:

IPTC_PREFIX
IPTC_TYPES

Array element are not immutable, even if the array itself is, so the entries could potentially be corrupted accidentally or deliberately.

IPTC_PREFIX does not appear to be used, so could perhaps be deleted. If not, it could be made private and a getter added.

IPTC_TYPES only appears to be used in IPTCTypeLookup, so could potentially be moved there and made private.
