Affects PMD Version: >=6.33.0
Rule: UnusedPrivateMethod
Description: Outer class calling a private method of a static inner class. -> False positive ('unused private method') on the inner class method.
Looks like this was introduced by #3157.
Code Sample demonstrating the issue:
public class OuterClass {
public void foo() {
InnerClass.doSomething();
}
static class InnerClass {
private static void doSomething() {
}
}
}
Expected outcome: No PMD messages
PMD reports a violation at line 8, but that's wrong. That's a false positive.
