Hi Ashish,

I was going through mod 23 POM with pageFactory.
Here you have created a FBConstants.java file to keep the constanst like loacators, chrome.exe file path and extent report file path and so on.
i just want to know why don't we use here property file for the same.
what are the benifits of keeping constants in java file rather then property file.

you can do it in the properties file. there is no difference really, except in properties files when you make a change you don't have to recompile the code, and in constant.java you have recompile every time.
