W142 Type is access specifier
Umple warning when a type looks like it was meant as a visibility specifier
Umple attributes do not support visibility specifiers such as public, private and protected. An attribute is private by default, and programmers are supposed to use the corresponding generated get method to read it, or the set method to modify it.
This warning appears when one of the visibility keywords precedes an attribute.
Example
// This case raises the warning
// because it is probably an error
// Umple will consider "x" to have type "public"
class X {
public x;
}

Solution to The Above So the Message No Longer Appears
// This is probably what was intended,
// attributes have private access by default
// but the programmer would call
// public String getX() to read it
// and public boolean setX(String) to set it
class X {
x;
}

Solution to The Above So the Message No Longer Appears
// Although not recommended, the programmer
// can also bypass Umple and directly specify
// both the visibility directive and the type.
// Umple will not see that as an attribute
// and will inject the line of code into the
// output directly.
class X {
public String x;
}
