That might be hard. But what would be useful is flagging wrongly spelled
overridden public/protected method names (equal -> equals, hascode ->
hashCode, finalise -> finalize) or a void method name that is identical
to a constructor name, or equal to a name of a (future) reserved word
like assert or enum.
