How to disable “Access can be package-private” message in IntelliJ?

Question

Developing an API, the warning message \"Access can be package-package\" in Java classes can be really annoying.

Another solution not mentioned so far: if you have a method that's declared public, and the IDE is telling you that there are no references to the method from outside the package, then perhaps you need to add a test case that calls that method from outside the package. In other words, treat the warning as signalling the absence of a test case for a public method.
