Question

I have created 2 classes as follows…

public class A extends JFrame {
    public String x = "abcdefg";
}

public class B extends JFrame {
    public String y;
}

Both of these classes extend JFrame. I am wondering whether there is a way that the String y in Class B can inherit the value of String x in Class A? I want it such that updating either x or y will also update the other String.

Is there a way that I can make these Strings common to the 2 classes?

Answer 1

Just make class B extend A.

public class A extends JFrame {

}

public class B extends A {

}

But TBH, we all think it’s a terrible idea to have public fields!
