Hello @garydgregory
This PR addresses LANG-1651: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LANG/issues/LANG-1651?filter=allopenissues
This PR adds a new utility method FieldUtils.isPublicStaticFinal(Field)
and corresponding unit tests.
The method checks whether a Field has public, static and final modifiers,
which is useful when identifying constant-like fields via reflection.
This utility centralizes a commonly repeated reflection check, improving readability,
avoiding duplicated modifier logic, and aligning with existing helpers in FieldUtils.
It can be used, for example, when scanning classes via reflection to identify public constants.
All tests pass locally using mvn.
mvn; that'smvnon the command line by itself.
