Static method referenced via subclass

Reports static method calls where the call is qualified by a subclass of the declaring class, rather than by the declaring class itself.

Java allows such qualification for classes, but such calls may indicate a subtle confusion of inheritance and overriding.

Example:

class Parent {
  public static void print(String str) {}
}
class Child extends Parent {}

Child.print("Hello, world!");

After the quick-fix is applied:

Parent.print("Hello, world!");
