[SOLVED] static block or constructor?
In a class i have all my fields declared at the start, including 2 static final fields. The static fields are the only ones i can initialize when an instance of this class is created/at the start of the program. So should I initialize them in the constructor, or leave the constructor empty and instead, immediately following the declaring of the fields, use a static block and initialize them there?
thanks in advance.

yah, you may initialize them in a static block,

or in global (outside the methods)

Static initialization block is much better I think. Use of that, gives a much clear to the code.
