Hi,

In some of the Wicket code we may see method signatures like:
- protected static
- private static
- private final

I wonder what are your reasons to use them ?
- do they improve performance ?
- do they save some bytes ? (in PermGen maybe ?!)
- do you need the 'static' just for the unit tests ?
- something else

My drivers to touch such signatures are:
- I don't see a reason to have 'final' in 'private final' method.  And
my IDE also notifies me about this.
- Scala has problems seeing 'protected static' methods from Java.

I want to check with you before modifying them.
