All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule
```
public class GenericLiteralCheckerRule
extends AbstractJavaRule
```
This class allow to match a Literal (most likely a String) with a regex pattern. Obviously, there are many applications of it (such as basic.xml/AvoidUsingHardCodedIP).
