JDK-4880220 - Add a warning when accessing a static method via an reference
Description
The new -Xlint:static option has revealed a number of places in the langtools code where statics fields and methods are indexed by instance variables and not the owning tool.

As a result, -Xlint:static has been disabled in langtools/make/build.properties.

These uses of static items should be fixed.
Comments
EVALUATION Yes. simple cleanup.
