Constructor Detail

### AbstractTypeParameterNameCheck

    public AbstractTypeParameterNameCheck(String aFormat)

  Creates a new `AbstractTypeParameterNameCheck` instance.

  Parameters:
    `aFormat` - format to check with

Method Detail

### getDefaultTokens

    public final int[] getDefaultTokens()

  Description copied from class: `Check`
  Returns the default token a check is interested in. Only used if the configuration for a check does not define the tokens.

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultTokens` in class `Check`
  Returns:
    the default tokens

    `TokenTypes`

### init

    public final void init()

  Description copied from class: `Check`
  Initialise the check. This is the time to verify that the check has everything required to perform it job.

  Overrides:
    `init` in class `Check`

### mustCheckName

    protected final boolean mustCheckName(DetailAST aAST)

  Description copied from class: `AbstractNameCheck`
  Decides whether the name of an AST should be checked against the format regexp.

  Overrides:
    `mustCheckName` in class `AbstractNameCheck`
  Parameters:
    `aAST` - the AST to check.
  Returns:
    true if the IDENT subnode of aAST should be checked against the format regexp.

### getLocation

    protected abstract int getLocation()

  This method must be overriden to specify the location of the type parameter to check.

  Returns:
    `TokenTypes.CLASS_DEF` or `TokenTypes.METHOD_DEF`
