Reports @GuardedBy annotations on instance fields or methods in which the guard is a static field. Guarding a non-static by a static may result in excessive lock contention, as access to each locked field in any object instance will prevent simultaneous access to that field in every object instance.

Example:


    private static ReadWriteLock lock = new ReentrantReadWriteLock(); //static guarding field
    private Object state;

    @GuardedBy("lock")
    public void bar() {
        state = new Object();
    }
