Class name prefixed with package name

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports classes whose names are prefixed with their package names, ignoring differences in capitalization.

While occasionally having such names is reasonable, they are often used due to a poor naming scheme, may be redundant and annoying.

Example:

package byteCode;
class ByteCodeAnalyzer {}

A quick-fix that renames such classes is available only in the editor.
