Class FileLengthCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable, FileSetCheck

    public class FileLengthCheck
    extends AbstractFileSetCheck

    Checks for long source files.

    Rationale: If a source file becomes very long it is hard to understand. Therefore, long classes should usually be refactored into several individual classes that focus on a specific task.

    • Property fileExtensions - Specify the file extensions of the files to process. Type is java.lang.String[]. Default value is "".
    • Property max - Specify the maximum number of lines allowed. Type is int. Default value is 2000.
