Naming Conventions Checks

Overview

Each of these naming modules validates identifiers for particular code elements. Valid identifiers for a naming module are specified by its format property. The value of format is a pattern for valid identifiers.

AbbreviationAsWordInName	Validates abbreviations (consecutive capital letters) length in identifier name, it also allows to enforce camel case naming.
AbstractClassName	Ensures that the names of abstract classes conforming to some pattern and check that abstract modifier exists.
CatchParameterName	Checks that catch parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
ClassTypeParameterName	Checks that class type parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
ConstantName	Checks that constant names conform to a specified pattern.
IllegalIdentifierName	Checks identifiers with a pattern for a set of illegal names, such as those that are restricted or contextual keywords.
InterfaceTypeParameterName	Checks that interface type parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
LambdaParameterName	Checks lambda parameter names.
LocalFinalVariableName	Checks that local final variable names conform to a specified pattern.
LocalVariableName	Checks that local, non-final variable names conform to a specified pattern.
MemberName	Checks that instance variable names conform to a specified pattern.
MethodName	Checks that method names conform to a specified pattern.
MethodTypeParameterName	Checks that method type parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
PackageName	Checks that package names conform to a specified pattern.
ParameterName	Checks that method parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
PatternVariableName	Checks that pattern variable names conform to a specified pattern.
RecordComponentName	Checks that record component names conform to a specified pattern.
RecordTypeParameterName	Checks that record type parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
StaticVariableName	Checks that static, non-final variable names conform to a specified pattern.
TypeName	Checks that type names conform to a specified pattern.
