This rule raises an issue when the access level is not specified on any top-level declaration. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- class Foo { // Noncompliant // ... } ---- == Compliant Solution ---- public class Foo { // ... } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::message.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
