Java
'protected' member in 'final' class
Warning
New
Last modified: 03 December 2024 Reports protected
members in final
classes.
Since final
classes cannot be inherited, marking the method as protected
may be confusing. It is better to declare such members as private
or package-visible instead.
Example:
record Bar(int a, int b) {
protected int sum() {
return a + b;
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
record Bar(int a, int b) {
int sum() {
return a + b;
}
}
As shown in the example, a class can be marked as final
explicitly or implicitly.
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
