'public' field

Reports public fields. Constants (fields marked with static and final) are not reported.

Example:

class Main {
  public String name;
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Main {
  private String name;

  public String getName() {
      return name;
  }

  public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
  }
}

Configure the inspection:

Use the Ignore If Annotated By list to specify annotations to ignore. The inspection will ignore fields with any of these annotations.
Use the Ignore 'public final' fields of an enum option to ignore public final fields of the enum type.

Inspection options
