In JavaMail the Transport class has a static "send" message and a
non-static "sendMessage" method. A common error is to create
your own Transport instance and then invoke the send method on
the instance instead of the sendMessage method.

I'd like javac to give me a warning when a static method is invoked
on an instance. Seeing as how javac doesn't produce warnings by
default, I assume this would be a lint-like warning that you would
have to explicitly enable.

I'd also like an annotation that I could apply to a static method
that made it an error to invoke that method on an instance. Or,
possibly this would just cause javac to produce this warning by
default.
