Unnecessary 'super' qualifier

Reports unnecessary super qualifiers in method calls and field references.

A super qualifier is unnecessary when the field or method of the superclass is not hidden/overridden in the calling class.

Example:

class Foo {
  void foo() {}
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  void bar() {
    super.foo();
  }
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Foo {
  void foo() {}
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  void bar() {
    foo();
  }
}

Use the inspection settings to ignore qualifiers that help to distinguish superclass members access from the identically named members of the outer class.
