Reports classes whose number of methods exceeds the specified maximum.

Classes with too many methods are often trying to 'do too much'. Consider splitting such a class into multiple smaller classes.

Configure the inspection:

  • Use the Method count limit field to specify the maximum allowed number of methods in a class.
  • Use the Ignore simple getter and setter methods option to ignore simple getters and setters in method count.
  • Use the Ignore methods overriding/implementing a super method to ignore methods that override or implement a method from a superclass.
