I2JAV11 — Mapping of IDL constants to Java

Summary: The IDL to Java mapping specifies that IDL constants are mapped
to public static final fields within a Java interface. Examples
are shown that include "public static final" modifiers for these
fields.

The Java Language Specification (Gosling/Joy/Steele) states in
section 9.3 that "Every field declaration in the body of an
interface is implicitly public, static, and final. It is permitted,
but strongly discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly
specify any or all of these modifiers for such fields."

I propose that the text and examples be changed to remove the
explicit "public static final" modifiers.
