Method naming convention
Reports methods whose names are too short, too long, or do not follow the specified regular expression pattern.
Instance methods that override library methods and constructors are ignored by this inspection.
Example: if the inspection is enabled for static methods, and the minimum specified method name length is 4 (the default), the following static method produces a warning, because the length of its name is 3, which is less than 4: public static int max(int a, int b).
A quick-fix that renames such methods is available only in the editor.
