Is there a convention, when using Java RMI, to use the dollar sign $ in a variable name?

conventions

I realize that it is a valid part of a variable name, but I've never seen variable names actually use the symbol $ before.

The Java tutorial says this:

Additionally, the dollar sign character, by convention, is never used at all. You may find some situations where auto-generated names will contain the dollar sign, but your variable names should always avoid using it.

However, since this is geared toward Java beginners, I'm wondering if in the distributed world, the $ lives on with a special meaning.
