A legal identifer contains uppercase or lowercase characters, digits, $, or _, and cannot start with a digit. Also you cannot use a reserved word or keyword. You cannot have any spaces in the identifier. Also you cannot use any Java operator.

See Section 3.8 of the Java Language Specification for additional details.

Okie, I just found out that # is an illegal character in Java.
