# Remove Modifiers in Interface Properties
# Description
By default, the attributes declared in Java interfaces are public
.
This rule, removes the public
modifiers from method declarations and public static final
modifiers from field declarations in interfaces.
Note, from Java 9 it is possible to have private
methods (opens new window) in interfaces, too.
# Benefits
Removes the clutter and unifies the attributes of Java interfaces.
