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!");
