So my understanding here is that I am exposing a public > API and the hint should not be shown IMO. From the JLS: "Every method declaration in the body of an interface is implicitly public (ยง6.6).". This rule doesn't apply to the interface itself, which can still be "package private". |
Created attachment 156606 [details] Sample project Exporting non-public type hint looks incorrect in some cases. In my case, I have an implicitly public interface (with no modifier), and created a class like this: public class PublicApi<T extends SampleInterface> {} Now I have the hint warning me about non-public API been exposed. In fact, according to JSL, all members of interfaces lacking access modifiers are implicitly public. So my understanding here is that I am exposing a public API and the hint should not be shown IMO. I am attaching a sample project.
