KFS Constant Classes

One of the General the General Coding Standards for Standards for KFS is "Use constants instead of string literals." A developer might ask, "Where is the best place to put my constant?" There are a variety of contants classes in KFS both global to KFS and specific to individual modules. Put your constant in the most fine-grained location possible that is specific to the type of constant and the module that will be using it. For example, an error key constant used by multiple modules would go in the global org.kuali.kfs.sys.KFSKeyConstants class, while an error key constant that was specific to the PurAP module would go in the org.kuali.kfs.module.purap.PurapKeyConstants class.
