Unnecessary 'null' check before 'equals()' call
Reports comparisons to null that are followed by a call to equals() with a constant argument.
Example:
if (s != null && s.equals("literal")) {}
After the quick-fix is applied:
if ("literal".equals(s)) {}
Use the inspection settings to report equals() calls with a non-constant argument when the argument to equals() is proven not to be null.
