Description

There are a number of strings and other constant (usually static final) values that are scattered in multiple places, but with the same values.  These could meaningfully be put into a single place and referenced from there.

Examples include:

• int BUFFER_SIZE = 16384 (for BufferedReader, Writer)
• String HTTP_PROTOCOL, String HTTPS_PROTOCOL
• "UTF-8" or the UTF_8 charset
