Class FileLengthCheck

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.

The default maximum file length is 2000 lines. To change the maximum number of lines, set property max.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="FileLength"/>
 

An example of how to configure the check so that it accepts files with at most 1500 lines is:

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