Access specifiers ::
The access specifier determines how accessible the field is
to code in other classes. Access ranges from totally
accessible to totally inaccessible. You can optionally
declare a field with an access specifier keyword: public,
private, or protected.
Access Modifiers ::
You can optionally declare a field with a modifier keyword:
final or volatile and/or static and/or transient.

point of time

Answer / ejp
Answer #13 is still the only correct answer here. The term
'access specifier' does not appear in the Java Language
Specification. And why would something called an 'access
specifier' be concerned with native/abstract/final anyway?
This is all just nonsense.

Answer / ejp
There is no such thing as an 'access specifier' in Java so
there is nothing for 'access modifier' to be different from.
There are 'type specifiers' and 'access modifiers'. See the
Java Language Specification.
