> Using final whereever possible simplifies testing (fewer possible states) and 
> improves thread-safety (final fields may not need synch.)
> Obviously changing public or protected fields to final may cause problems for 
> binary compatibility (if they form part of the public API), but for 
> private/package variables that is not a concern.
