Class IllegalIdentifierNameCheck

All Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable, Contextualizable

Checks identifiers with a pattern for a set of illegal names, such as those that are restricted or contextual keywords. Examples include "yield", "record", and "var". Please read more at Java Language Specification to get to know more about restricted keywords. Since this check uses a pattern to specify valid identifiers, users can also prohibit the usage of certain symbols, such as "$", or any non-ascii character.
