All Implemented Interfaces:

public class ModifierOrderCheck

extends Check

Checks that the order of modifiers conforms to the suggestions in the Java Language specification, sections 8.1.1, 8.3.1 and 8.4.3. The correct order is:

1. public
2. protected
3. private
4. abstract
5. static
6. final
7. transient
8. volatile
9. synchronized
10. native
11. strictfp

Rationale: Code is easier to read if everybody follows a standard.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="ModifierOrder"/>
