31   * <p>Also, checks if a method name has the same name as the residing class.
32   * The default is false (it is not allowed). It is legal in Java to have
33   * method with the same name as a class. As long as a return type is specified
34   * it is a method and not a constructor which it could be easily confused as.
35   * Does not check-style the name of an overridden methods because the developer does not
36   * have a choice in renaming such methods.

39   * <ul>
40   * <li>
41   * Property {@code allowClassName} - Control whether to allow a method name to have the same name
42   * as the enclosing class name. Setting this property {@code false} helps to avoid
43   * confusion between constructors and methods.
44   * Type is {@code boolean}.
45   * Default value is {@code false}.

47   * <li>
48   * Property {@code applyToPackage} - Control if check should apply to package-private members.

52   * <li>

57   * <li>
58   * Property {@code applyToProtected} - Control if check should apply to protected members.

62   * <li>
63   * Property {@code applyToPublic} - Control if check should apply to public members.
