Instance field access not qualified with 'this'

Reports field access operations that are not qualified with this or some other qualifier.

Some coding styles mandate that all field access operations are qualified to prevent confusion with local variable or parameter access.

Example:

  class Foo {
    int foo;

    void bar() {
      foo += 1;
    }
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

  class Foo {
    int foo;

    void bar() {
      this.foo += 1;
    }
  }
