Hi all. There is a package-private constant that is defined in Data.java, DataInfo.java and FieldInfo.java that as far as I can tell is not used at all. Here's the definition:
My first instinct is to remove the definition altogether since I can see no apparent use for it. What are your thoughts? Thanks

I'd just keep whatever they had doen in the code. The constant could have ben used in a previous version of the test, when you have to convert the data. Mark
Thanks Mark. I have a tendecy to nit-pick others' code (and code that I wrote but can't remember when.) I will certainly leave it alone.

Another possibillity is that it is used to tell the person marking your submission which version of the "legacy code" and db.db file you were assigned.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
