It is a great tool!

I am enjoying it, but I can't find how to check some basic rules.
For example, there is well-known Java coding standard: Class name starts with uppercase.
If string.matches() supports regular expression, it could be possible.

Do you have any idea?

Glad you like SemmleCode, and sorry for the delay in replying.

We've added string operations, and they'll be available in the next release - this
will enable you to write the "class name starts with uppercase" query.
Full regexp support is also in the pipeline, but a bit more difficult to support
on all the different database backends.

The next release will come out in a few days.

The new release of SemmleCode plugin has now four new functions on strings: length, substring, toUpperCase and toLowerCase. Using these methods one can easily express a query to find all reference types that have names that do not start with an upper case letter. Here is one example:

Code:
from RefType t, string s
where s = t.getName().substring(1,1)
and s.toUpperCase() != s
select t

Enjoy!
