PUBLIC POLL: final static

Hi! It's poll time!

There are some classes in the Java / Subversion binding that use public variables.
They are NOT variables with common read/write access. They are initialized through
the class constructor. After this they remain constant for the rest of the instance lifetime.
Example in class Entry:
"public final Date text_time;"

The reason for this kind of implementation is a performance improvement.

The alternative would be to have accessor methods.

Now its up to you.

If you want it implemented as it is reply to this email and append "VARIABLE" to the subject of the message.
If you want to have it changed to accessor methods, reply to this email and append "ACCESSOR" to the subject of the message.

On next Thursday I will count the emails.

Thanks for your participation...
Have a nice weekend

Alex
