Log:
Make non-private static fields final
<snip/>
Note that the above breaks binary and source compatibility. Therefore,
at the least, such changes deserve notable mentions in the release
notes and often additional thought about the version number of the
next release.
With such a low level and widely used component as DBCP, changing binary
compatability will cause users lots of pain (unless there is a specific
plan here).
Possible solutions include
- don't make a binary/source incompatible change
- change the package name
We shouldn't create any more jar hell situations.
