Use a final class, and define a private constructor to hide the public one.
For simplicity you may then use a static import to reuse your values in another class
public final class MyValues {
private MyValues() {
// No need to instantiate the class, we can hide its constructor
}
public static final String VALUE1 = "foo";
public static final String VALUE2 = "bar";
}
in another class :
import static MyValues.*
//...
if (VALUE1.equals(variable)) {
//...
}
