Java Bukkit API Test for item name

I want to test if an item a player is holding has a certain name. If it does then I want it to do the following:

Egg egg = player.getWorld().spawn(player.getEyeLocation(), Egg.class);
            egg.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(1.5));
            egg.setShooter(player);

            player.getWorld().playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.DIG_WOOL, 15, 15);

If it doesn't it should return something say like "Wrong Name!"

Bukkit has a method called getItemInHand() on a PlayerInventory that you can use to get the item in hand. To get a PlayerInventory, you can call getInventory on a Player object.

You can then do checks on the returned object, like checking if it is null, and checking its type:

ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInHand();
if(item != null && item.getType() == Material.EGG) {
    if(item.hasItemMeta() && 
       item.getItemMeta().hasDisplayName() && 
       item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("PartyEgg")) {
        ....
    }
}
