UnnecessarySuperQualifier

Reports unnecessary super qualifiers in method calls and field references.

A super qualifier is unnecessary when the field or method of the superclass is not hidden/overridden in the calling class.

Example:

class Foo {
    void foo() {}
  }

  class Bar extends Foo {
    void bar() {
      super.foo();
    }
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Foo {
    void foo() {}
  }

  class Bar extends Foo {
    void bar() {
      foo();
    }
  }

Use the inspection settings to ignore qualifiers that help to distinguish superclass members access from the identically named members of the outer class.
