Can anyone tell how many Non-access Modifiers there are in Java? I have the list below, but I want to know if it is complete or if there's any other I need to add:
final,
abstract,
static,
strictfp,
native,
synchronized,
transient

You are missing `default` – Eran Mar 30 '15 at 06:34

You also missed `volatile`. – Masudul Mar 30 '15 at 06:37

@RevathiMuthukrishnan No, default is not an access modifier, it marks a default implementation of an interface method. – Eran Mar 30 '15 at 06:40

@RevathiMuthukrishnan It was introduced in Java 8. – Maroun Mar 30 '15 at 07:16

It's always best to go to the source: The Java Language Specification. Looking at the keyword section, you can get this list:
- default
- transient
- final
- static
- strictfp
- volatile
- const
- native
- synchronized

**From that keyword list how do you the list of non-access modifier?** – Revathi Muthukrishnan Mar 30 '15 at 08:28

You should look them up in the specs, e.g. 8.3.1 here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.3. I didn't see a place in the spec where they explicitly answer this question, though. They don't distinguish between access and non-access modifiers there – Michael Bar-Sinai Mar 30 '15 at 08:41

I don't think Michael Bar-Sinai's answer is correct.
The Modifier class shows a total of 12 modifiers, and this page of the Java Documentation shows that there are 3 access modifiers (and a 4th nameless package-private modifier). It follows that the 9 non-access modifiers are:
- abstract
- final
- interface
- native
- static
- strictfp
- synchronized
- transient
- volatile
