Hello, context assist now always proposes to switch from "lambda expression" to "method reference" when it's possibile, but I think it's wrong because not all conversions are the same thing.

When working with non-final class variables, it shouldn't propose to switch to "method reference".

Below a snippet that produces different results:


public class TestClass {
    static class TestClassInt {
        int value;

        public TestClassInt(int i) {
            value = i;
        }

        public void printMe() {
            System.out.println(String.valueOf(value));
        }
    }

    TestClassInt var1;
    Runnable     r1;
    Runnable     r2;

    public TestClass() {
        var1 = new TestClassInt(1);

        r1 = () -> var1.printMe();
        r2 = var1::printMe;

        var1 = new TestClassInt(2);
    }

    private void print() {
        r1.run();
        r2.run();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestClass().print();
    }

}

Are you talking about this line of code?

r1 = () -> var1.printMe();

There's no compiler error when this is converted to a method reference. So, I don't see why the conversion can't be offered.
