Class Field Modifiers

Access Modifiers:

public: Fields with the public modifier are accessable from all classes.
protected: Fields with the protected modifier are accessable from classes in the same package and subclasses.
private: Fields with the private modifier are accessable only from the class in which they are declared.
no modifier: Fields without a modifier are accessable from the same package.


State Modifiers:

transient: Field doesn't get saved or loaded when using object serialization.
volatile: Field data consistency is maintained in multi-threaded environments.
static: Field is accessed by using the class name, not by using an instance of the class. One value shared by the class.
final: Field is a constant; once the value is initialized it can't be re-assigned anywhere at any time.
