Remove public constructor from NGConstants utility class #194

Closed mrk-andreev closed 4 years ago

Utility classes should not have public constructors

Utility classes, which are collections of static members, are not meant to be instantiated. Even abstract utility classes, which can be extended, should not have public constructors.

Java adds an implicit public constructor to every class which does not define at least one explicitly. Hence, at least one non-public constructor should be defined.
