How to make sure a String matches a Java class name

Question

Using reflection and the Class.forName(String s) method, is there a way to determine if my String matches the proper case of the class?

example:

Class: testReflection.java
String s: testReFlEction

try{   
    Class.forName(s)
}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
    System.out.println("Can't find class: " + s);
}

This misses the ClassNotFoundException and throws this exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testReFlEction (wrong name: testReflection)

Error Log:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ReFlEction (wrong name:  testReflection)

Update: I changed the exception to catch Throwable .

Answer 1

我通过将要捕获的异常类型从ClassNotFoundException更改为Throwable解决了我的问题。
