FileLength.md

Pattern: Long source file

Issue: -

Description

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.

Examples

To configure the check to accept files with up to 1500 lines:

<module name="FileLength">
      <property name="max" value="1500"/>
</module>
