All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Contextualizable

public class IllegalIdentifierNameCheck
extends AbstractNameCheck

Checks identifiers against a regular expression pattern to detect illegal names. Since this check uses a pattern to define valid identifiers, users will need to use negative lookaheads to explicitly ban certain names (e.g., "var") or patterns (e.g., any identifier containing $) while still allowing all other valid identifiers.
