Hi Jochen, The JVM specification allows pretty much anything that can be encoded in Modified-UTF8. If you want to run your generated classes directly on the JVM, pretty much any name will do. But if you want the classes that you are generating to be importable from Java via javac, you need to follow the JLS.
For what purpose are you wondering about the naming? We might be able to help you better if you tell us. Hope that helps!
