Hello,

is there any utility class to check the validity of package, class, and
method names given as String?

Valid: In terms of the the Java Language Specification, especially

Don't know of a method that checks an entire string, but the Character class has static methods for validation of java identifiers:

isJavaIdentifierStart
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isJavaIdentifierStart(char)>

isJavaIdentifierPart
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isJavaIdentifierPart(char)>
