You can use (?i) as a prefix of your token "fullname" which will make it case insensitive so it will work for any Upper and Lower case combination of your token "fullname" "{FULLname} , {fullNAME} , {FulLName} ,{fuLLname}"

text = text.replaceAll("\\{(?i)fullname\\}", user.getMobile() != null ? user.getMobile() : "");

ReplaceAll takes regex, so you can try (?i) ignorecase in regex

text = text.replaceAll("\\{(?i)fullname\\}", us...

That works for all {fullname} , {FULLNAME} , {Fullname} ,{fuLLname}

Try using this

    String ans="Hi {fullname}, wellcome u join my group";

    ans = ans.replaceAll("\\{[a-zA-Z]*\\}", "ANYTHING");

    System.out.println(ans);
