Usage
Select one or more methods, fields, interfaces, classes, enums or annotations in the workbench's Outline, Members or Package Explorer views:
Open the selected items' context menu and the "AccessModifier" submenu,
where you will see ten choices:
 | public | |
 | protected | |
 | default | |
 | private | |
 | static | |
 | not static | |
 | final | |
 | not final | |
 | synchronized | |
 | not synchronized |
Click one of the presented menu items, and the selected items' modifier will change accordingly.
The first four choices change the selected elements' access modifier,
while the static/not static, final/not final
and synchronized/not synchronized
options toggle the elements' static, final or synchronized attribute.
Please note that the files containing the selected elements will be saved after
performing the changes.
Invalid combinations - e.g. a private method in an interface are not
allowed, the plug-in prevents their execution. So selecting a class and
choosing synchronized from the AccessModifier menu will not set
the class to be synchronized, since synchronized is not a valid
modifier for a class. The following table is used to check for valid
combinations:
| Class | Interface | Field | Interface Field | Method | Interface Method | Constructor | Inner Class in Class/Enum | Inner Interface in Class/Enum | Inner Class in Interface/Annotation | Inner Interface in Interface/Annotation | Enum | Inner Enum in Class/Enum | Inner Enum in Interface/Annotation | Annotation | Inner Annotation in Class/Enum | Inner Annotation in Interface/Annotation | Annotation Method | |
| public | ||||||||||||||||||
| protected | ||||||||||||||||||
| default | ||||||||||||||||||
| private | ||||||||||||||||||
| static | ||||||||||||||||||
| final | ||||||||||||||||||
| synchronized |
