Interface question

[Sparko]

If one defines an interface with no method declarations, just public
static final constants, can one then refer to the constants in the
implementing class or are the constants defined in the interface only
available in an implemented method.

Writing this question (I'm not shure I understand it fully) takes more
time than writing the code to try it out.

Just try it out!

A class that implements an interface will inherit
all of the declarations and fields of that interface.

Sometimes called the "pre-1.5-static-import-hack".
