If by stigmatism you mean are static variables "all over the place," the answer is yes, but not in the same way.
A gloabal variable in C, for example, is a universal identifier, such as the defined value TRUE. You have something similar in
Java, but because no identifier exists without a class definition, the namespace is by definition already segmented. TRUE for one class can be completely different from a TRUE in another class, and they'll be separated by their class names, e.g., This.TRUE and That.TRUE.
