Class AnonInnerLengthCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable

    public class AnonInnerLengthCheck
    extends AbstractCheck

    Checks for long anonymous inner classes.

    Rationale: If an anonymous inner class becomes very long it is hard to understand and to see the flow of the method where the class is defined. Therefore, long anonymous inner classes should usually be refactored into a named inner class. See also Bloch, Effective Java, p. 93.
