// Access modifiers first (don't do for instance "static public")

- Modifiers should go in the following order
- Access modifier (
public
/ private
/ protected
)
abstract
static
final
transient
volatile
default
synchronized
native
strictfp
- Modifiers should not be written out when they are implicit. For example, interface methods should neither be declared
public
nor abstract
, and nested enums and interfaces should not be declared static.
- Method parameters and local variables should not be declared
final
unless it improves readability or documents an actual design decision.
- Fields should be declared
final
unless there is a compelling reason to make them mutable.
