Utility methods that convert arbitrary strings into Java identifiers.
  • Method Details

    • isJavaIdentifier

      public static boolean isJavaIdentifier(String s)
      Checks if a given string is usable as a Java identifier.
    • isFullyQualifiedClassName

      public static boolean isFullyQualifiedClassName(String s)
      Checks if the given string is a valid fully qualified name.
    • isJavaPackageName

      public static boolean isJavaPackageName(String s)
      Checks if the given string is a valid Java package name.
    • getPluralForm

      public static String getPluralForm(String word)
      Experimental API: converts an English word into a plural form.
      Parameters:
      word - a word, such as "child", "apple". Must not be null. It accepts word concatanation forms that are common in programming languages, such as "my_child", "MyChild", "myChild", "MY-CHILD", "CODE003-child", etc, and mostly tries to do the right thing. ("my_children","MyChildren","myChildren", and "MY-CHILDREN", "CODE003-children" respectively)

      Although this method only works for English words, it handles non-English words gracefully (by just returning it as-is.) For example, "日本語" will be returned as-is without modified, not "日本語s"

      This method doesn't handle suffixes very well. For example, passing "person56" will return "person56s", not "people56".

      Returns:
      always non-null.
