Configuration

Name	Type	Description
maxInDegree	int	Specifies the maximum In-Degree for a class. -1 for no max. Defaults to -1

Description

Searches a graph of all of the classes. Degree is defined by how many different classes have an edge with a class. A class has an edge with another class if it extends, implements, has-a, or depends on the other class. A warning is raised for any class exceeding either max. Also searches for any cycles in the graph. Raises a warning for each cycle found.
