Redundant field initialization

Reports fields explicitly initialized to their default values.

Example:

class Foo {
  int foo = 0;
  List bar = null;
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Foo {
  int foo;
  List bar;
}

Use the inspection settings to only report explicit null initialization, for example:

class Foo {
  int foo = 0;     // no warning
  List bar = null; // redundant field initialization warning
}

Inspection options

Option	Type	Default
