Anonymous class may be a named 'static' inner class
Reports anonymous classes that may be safely replaced with static
inner classes. An anonymous class may be a static
inner class if it doesn't explicitly reference its enclosing instance or local classes from its surrounding method.
A static
inner class does not keep an implicit reference to its enclosing instance. This prevents a common cause of memory leaks and uses less memory per class instance.
Since Java 18, only serializable anonymous classes keep an implicit reference to their enclosing instance, if this reference is not used. Therefore, when the module language level is Java 18 or higher, this inspection reports serializable classes only.
The quick-fix extracts the anonymous class into a named static
inner class.
Example:
void sample() {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
}
});
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
void sample() {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Task());
}
private static class Task implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
}
}

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
