Pattern: Too many defined types at the outer level

Issue: -

Description

Checks for the number of types declared at the outer (or root) level in a file.

Examples

To configure the check to accept 1 outer type per file:

<module name="OuterTypeNumber"/>

To configure the check to accept 2 outer types per file:

<module name="OuterTypeNumber">
      <property name="max" value="2"/>
</module>
