Method can be made 'static'
Reports methods that can safely be made static. Making methods static when possible can reduce memory consumption and improve your code quality.
A method can be static if:
it is not
synchronized,nativeorabstract,does not reference any of non-static methods and non-static fields from the containing class,
is not an override and is not overridden in a subclass.

Use the following options to configure the inspection:
Whether to report only
privateandfinalmethods, which increases the performance of this inspection.Whether to ignore empty methods.
Whether to ignore default methods in interface when using Java 8 or higher.
