@NotNull field is not initialized

Reports fields annotated as not-null that are not initialized in the constructor.

Example:

public class MyClass {
  private @NotNull String value;

  public void setValue(@NotNull String value) {
    this.value = value;
  }

  public @NotNull String getValue() {
    return value;
  }
  }

Such fields may violate the not-null constraint. In the example above, the setValue parameter is annotated as not-null, but getValue may return null if the setter was not called.

Configure the inspection:

Use the Ignore fields which could be initialized implicitly option to control whether a warning should be issued if the field could be initialized implicitly (e.g. via a dependency injection).
Use the Ignore fields initialized in setUp() method option to control whether a warning should be issued if the field is written in the test case setUp() method.

Inspection options

Option	Type	Default
Ignore fields which could be initialized implicitly	Checkbox	true
Ignore fields initialized in setUp() method	Checkbox	true
