Juergen,

Some time ago Anita Jindal (another Sun employee) sent the following 
issues for the IDL-Java RTF to issues@omg.org.  We have not yet
seen the numbers assigned to these issues.  Could you check on this
and let us know the issue numbers, or assign issue numbers if they
were somehow missed?

Thanks,

Ken Cavanaugh

This is NOT a problem at all. the Java language automatically declares
constants
in an interface "public static final" i.e

public interface foo {
    int x = 10;
}
is identical to saying
public interface foo {
    public static final int x = 10;
}

Propose:
Close, no change.


Thanks,
Vijay

 (4). The "const" mapping does not specify "public static final",
    please note
that without this, no one will be able to directly access the value
    specified
for the const's directly.

Proposal:

Change the mapping for const to specify "public static final"
Question for Anita: Is this in the ZIP file, or in the Chapter Section
on
const mapping?
