public class MethodLengthCheck extends Check
Checks for long methods.
Rationale: If a method becomes very long it is hard to understand. Therefore long methods should usually be refactored into several individual methods that focus on a specific task.
The default maximum method length is 150 lines. To change the maximum number of lines, set property max.
An example of how to configure the check is:
<module name="MethodLength"/>
An example of how to configure the check so that it accepts methods with at most 60 lines is:
<module name="MethodLength"> <property name="max" value="60"/> </module>
