Inspectopedia Help

Package naming convention

Reports package names that do not follow the naming conventions.

You can specify the required pattern in the inspection options.

Recommended naming conventions: names of packages are always lowercase and should not contain underscores.

Example:

org.example.project

Using multi-word names is generally discouraged, but if you do need to use multiple words, you can either just concatenate them together or use camel case

Example:

org.example.myProject
