    You don’t have to do anything – it will work as is (although it makes little sense to use such a confusing code).

    How ambiguous names are handled is specified in the JLS #6.5.2. In particular:

    If the AmbiguousName is a simple name, consisting of a single Identifier:

    • If the Identifier appears within the scope (§6.3) of a local variable declaration (§14.4) or parameter declaration (§8.4.1, §8.8.1, §14.20) or field declaration (§8.3) with that name, then the AmbiguousName is reclassified as an ExpressionName.
    • […]
    • Otherwise, if a type of that name is declared in the compilation unit (§7.3) containing the Identifier, either by a single-type-import declaration (§7.5.1), or by a type-import-on-demand declaration (§7.5.2), or by a single-static-import declaration (§7.5.3), or by a static-import-on-demand declaration (§7.5.4), then the AmbiguousName is reclassified as a TypeName.

    So in your case, SomeClass will be the variable you declared one line above, which has priority over types.
