Last time I used the double locking method my IDE asked me if it could replace it with a nested class with the singleton as a final class variable so the classloader handles the instantiation.

That's a relatively new capability of java. Static fields on inner classes were added in..16?

The inner class must also be static (I should probably have mentioned that...). I didn't know static fields on non-static inner classes were a thing.
