Pattern: Too many nested blocks

Issue: -

Description

Checks for blocks or closures nested more deeply than a configured maximum number. Blocks include if, for, while, switch, try, catch, finally and synchronized blocks/statements, as well as closures.

Methods calls, constructor calls, and property access through Builder objects are ignore. For instance, this code does not cause a violation:

someBuilder.root {
    foo {
        bar {
            baz {
                quix {
                    qux {
                        quaxz {
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
