GLOBAL.DPAC

Declare package-private classes as inaccessible as possible

Description

This rule flags any package-private class that is more accessible than is necessary.

Making the fields/methods/classes as inaccessible as possible makes the code much more object-oriented and it is much easier to understand code dependencies.

Example

See examples/static/GLOBAL/too-accessible.

Repair

Change the class's accessibility or document the reason for the excessive accessibility.
