This is another issue from the category "IDE generates code and then displays a hint suggesting how to fix it". I hope
there will not be a discussion as with some other issues of this kind:).

When you generate a delegate method for a static method, a hint suggesting replacing an instance with a class reference
is shown.

For example:

1. Have a class like this:

class A {
  private String S;
  
}

2. Invoke Insert Code > Delegate method
3. Select "S" in the left part of the dialog and "copyValueOf" in the right part of a dialog, confirm
-> Resulting code is:

class A {
  private String S;
  public static String copyValueOf(char[] data) {
    return S.copyValueOf(data); // hint: Replace with class reference => return String.copyValueOf(data);
  }
}
