Utility class to check validity of package, class, and method name

[Martin Burger]

Hello,

is there any utility class to check the validity of package, class, and
method names given as String?

Valid: In terms of the the Java Language Specification, especially
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/first_edition/html/3.doc.html#40625?

Thanks,
Martin

Don't know of a method that checks an entire string, but the Character
class has static methods for validation of java identifiers:

isJavaIdentifierStart
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isJavaIdentifierStart(char)>

isJavaIdentifierPart
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isJavaIdentifierPart(char)>

Hello Roland!

I hope there's any class that implemented a check using exactly the
methods mentioned by you.

Just a wild guess: maybe some class/es in the com.sun.tools.javac.*
package hierarchy
