TooManyFields

TooManyFields

Classes that have too many fields can become unwieldy and could be redesigned to have fewer fields, possibly through grouping related fields in new objects. For example, a class with individual city/state/zip fields could park them within a single Address field.
This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.codesize.TooManyFieldsRule
Example(s):


   
public class Person {	// too many separate fields
   int birthYear;
   int birthMonth;
   int birthDate;
   float height;
   float weight;
}

public class Person {	// this is more manageable
   Date birthDate;
   BodyMeasurements measurements;
}
