public class VisibilityModifierCheck

extends Check

Checks visibility of class members. Only static final members may be public, other class members must be private unless allowProtected/Package is set.

Public members are not flagged if the name matches the public member regular expression (contains "^serialVersionUID$" by default).

Rationale: Enforce encapsulation.
