Class explicitly extends 'Object'

Reports any classes that are explicitly declared to extend java.lang.Object.

Such declaration is redundant and can be safely removed.

Example:

  class MyClass extends Object {
  }

The quick-fix removes the redundant extends Object clause:

  class MyClass {
  }
