Equals avoids null

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.EqualsAvoidsNull
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

Checks that any combination of String literals is on the left side of an equals() comparison. Also checks for String literals assigned to some field (such as someString.equals(anotherString = "text")). And removes redundant null checks in conjunction with equals comparisons. Placing the literal on the left side prevents NullPointerExceptions, since a literal can never be null and its equals method handles null arguments safely.
