This inspection suggests to use Integer.compare(), etc. static methods where more verbose or less efficient constructs are used. For example, x > y ? 1 : x < y ? -1 : 0 or Integer.valueOf(x).compareTo(y) could be replaced with Integer.compare(x, y). If x and y are already boxed integers, then x.compareTo(y) is suggested.

Double.compare and Float.compare methods appeared in Java 1.4, methods for other primitive types are available since Java 1.7
