System.out.println("Hello");
2. Use Refactoring and Extract Method for this line
3.A method is created but it is not set as a static method, even if it does not use any class-specific code

We could add a checkbox to make the method static. Checkbox should only be enabled when the static modifier is not added by default and does not refer to 'this' (i.e. do bug 10605, not bug 118032).

For reference: I understood bug 450978 as requesting s.t. closer to bug 118032 than to bug 10605.
