Unnecessary 'continue' statement

Reports continue statements if they are last reachable statements in the loop. These continue statements are unnecessary and can be safely removed.

Example:

  for(int i in array) {
      println(i)
      continue
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

  for(int i in array) {
      println(i)
  }
