The code should not contain 'magic' strings (or numbers for that matter).

All fixed strings should be documented as to their purpose and derivation.
The conventional way to do this is via a constant with appropriate Javadoc.

In other words, why is the suffix ".activated" ?
Why not ".alive" or ".on" or ".randomString"?
