Inspectopedia 2026.2 Help

Field naming convention

Reports fields whose names are too short, too long, or do not follow the specified regular expression pattern.

A quick-fix to rename such fields is available only in the editor.

Example:

public static final int MAX = 42;

This example will be reported if the inspection is enabled for constants with the default settings where a field name should have a minimum length of 5.

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

FieldNamingConvention
Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Java | Naming conventions

Use the list in the Options section to specify the types of fields that should be checked.

For each field type, you can specify the minimum length, maximum length, and regular expression for acceptable field names. Specify 0 in a length field to skip the corresponding check. Regular expressions use the standard java.util.regex format.
