OOP.AHSM

Avoid hiding inherited "static" member methods

Description

This rule flags any inherited "static" method that is hidden by a child class.

Example

 package OOP;
 
 public class AHSM {
     static void method1 () {}
 }
 
 class AHSM_ extends AHSM {
     static void method1 () {}
 }

Repair

The solution will depend upon the design of the program, but might be as simple as using the inherited method and removing the method declared in the child class.
