Suspicious 'Class.getClass()' call

Reports getClass() methods that are called on a java.lang.Class instance.

This is usually a mistake as the result is always equivalent to Class.class. If it's a mistake, then it's better to remove the getClass() call and use the qualifier directly. If the behavior is intended, then it's better to write Class.class explicitly to avoid confusion.

Example:

void test(Class<?> clazz) {
  String name = clazz.getClass().getName();
}

After one of the possible quick-fixes is applied:

void test(Class<?> clazz) {
  String name = clazz.getName();
}
