All Implemented Interfaces:

public class GodClassRule
extends AbstractJavaRulechainRule

The God Class Rule detects the God Class design flaw using metrics. A god class does too many things, is very big and complex. It should be split apart to be more object-oriented. The rule uses the detection strategy described in [1]. The violations are reported against the entire class.
