Unqualified static access

Warning

Reports usage of static members that is not qualified with the class name.

This is legal if the static member is in the same class, but may be confusing.

Example:

After the quick-fix is applied:

Use the inspection settings to toggle the reporting for the following items:

  • static fields access

    void bar() { System.out.println(x); }

  • calls to static methods

    void bar() { foo(); }

    static void baz() { foo(); }

You can also configure the inspection to only report static member usage from a non-static context. In the above example, static void baz() { foo(); } will not be reported.
