Looking forward to meet you at the T3DD!

Ok, I misunderstood your point. This code-sniff can also be done by RegEx.

>>> The package name should be UpperCamelCase (see CGL). But this is not

>>
>> What do you mean with 'abbrevations'? Could you please give an example?

"DHL" IMO is UpperCamelCase - it's just a weird camel ;-)

Have a nice trip to Elmshorn.
