Method reference can be replaced with lambda
Reports method references, like MyClass::myMethod and myObject::myMethod, and suggests replacing them with an equivalent lambda expression.
Lambda expressions can be easier to modify than method references.
Example:
System.out::println
After the quick-fix is applied:
s -> System.out.println(s)
