Class OuterTypeNumberCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class OuterTypeNumberCheck
extends AbstractCheck

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

    Rationale: It is considered good practice to only define one outer type per file.

    • Property max - Specify the maximum number of outer types allowed. Type is int. Default value is 1.

    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>
