Eclipse java重构将私有方法改为public方法

Question

I forgot to add the public access modifier to my abstract methods of a super class - I'm assuming that the quickest way to fix this would be through some refactoring-type-thing but I can't figure out how.

My question is thus then: Does Eclipse have a way to change the access modifier of a method such that classes that implement it will be affected? And how do I use it if it exists?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Right click on the method refactor -> change method signiture change access modifier to public. I suggest doing this on the parent class method.

You can also open this config alt + shift + c keys if you are using default keys.

As a side note, when you dont specify any access modifier it will be package friendly. Also abstract methods can not be private.
