Inspectopedia Help

'static', non-'final' field

Reports non-final static fields.

A quick-fix is available to add the final modifier to a non-final static field.

This inspection doesn't check fields' mutability. For example, adding the final modifier to a field that has a value being set somewhere will cause a compilation error.

Locating this inspection
