Using numbers as package names in java
I've already checked the following posts:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-6.html#jls-6.2
and SO post:
Is this a valid java package name?
and
What package naming convention do you use for personal / hobby projects in Java?
I tried to create a package like this:
package 01;
public class Test
{
// ...
}
When I compile, I get this:
I:\code>javac 01\Test.java
01\Test.java:1: error: <identifier> expected
package 01;
^
1 error
I am looking for the syntactic correctness of the name, not the convention.
Is there an oracle / SUN link that maps the syntax for a package, or follows the same rules as variable names in java? May be a reference in the Java language specification that package names follow the same rules as variable names.

This is a reference to the identifier grammar that Java uses and applies wherever an identifier is specified, including but not limited to the package name. Thus, it is 01
definitely not a valid package name because it is not a valid identifier.
