public interface Constant
```
Interface Contact is designed to hold and model java constant. In Java there are no constant keywords instead of the constant is defined as static final field with assigned value. For this purpose the Constant interface contains methods getType() to provide wrapped return Type of Constant, getName() the Name of constant and the getValue() for providing of value assigned to Constant. To determine of which type the constant value is it is recommended firstly to retrieve Type from constant. The Type interface holds base information like java package name and java type name (e.g. fully qualified name). From this string user should be able to determine to which type can be getValue() type typecasted to unbox and provide value assigned to constant.
