Please, keep it private

Please, keep it private

Hi,

This change is interesting:

        * TestValue.java: Make all fields private.
        (longBEUnsignedType): Delete.
        (intBEUnsignedType): Delete.
        (shortBEUnsignedType): Delete.
        (byteBEUnsignedType): Delete.
        (floatBEType): Delete.
        (doubleBEType): Delete.
        (longUnsignedType): Delete.
        (intUnsignedType): Delete.
        (shortUnsignedType): Delete.
        (byteUnsignedType): Delete.

notice the consequence, of making those fields private.

When adding a field please start with the most private scope possible, 
even make it final.  Similarly, delay adding either a getEr or setEr 
method until it is clear that it is needed.

If we remember to do this, refactoring is relatively easy (dead 
variables are even identified by the compiler).  If we don't do this 
we're left with an accumulating pile of [likely] dead fields and 
methods.  something none of us want :-( :-)
