Method names differing only by case

Reports cases in which multiple methods of a class have the names that differ only by case. Such names may be very confusing.

Example:

public int hashcode() { // reported, should be hashCode probably? return 0; }

A quick-fix that renames such methods is available only in the editor.

Use the Ignore methods overriding/implementing a super method option to ignore methods overriding or implementing a method from the superclass.
