Call to inherited method looks like call to local method

Reports calls to a superclass method from an anonymous, inner or local class, if a method with the same signature exists in the code surrounding the class. In this case it may seem that a method from the surrounding code is called, when in fact it is a call to a method from the superclass.

To clarify the intent of the code, it is recommended to add an explicit super qualifier to the method call.

Example:

class Parent {
  void ambiguous(){}
}

class Example {
  void ambiguous(){}

  class Inner extends Parent {
    void example(){
      ambiguous(); //warning
    }
  }
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Parent {
  void ambiguous(){}
}

class Example {
  void ambiguous(){}

  class Inner extends Parent {
    void example(){
      super.ambiguous();
    }
  }
}
