Transient field in non-serializable class

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports transient fields in classes that do not implement java.io.Serializable.

Example:

public class NonSerializableClass {
  private transient String password;
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

public class NonSerializableClass {
  private String password;
}
